Minerals are essential for endurance performance, yet their role is often underestimated. In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert explains why sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are so important for fluid balance, muscle function, nerve signaling, and recovery, and why trace elements like iron and zinc also play a critical role for athletes under training stress.

The episode looks at how mineral deficiencies can develop, which warning signs athletes should pay attention to, and why fatigue, cramps, slow recovery, and poor performance are often linked to more than just training load. It also covers practical strategies to support mineral balance through everyday nutrition, carbohydrate drinks with electrolytes, and regular monitoring during demanding training phases. A clear and practical episode on how to keep your system aligned and performance-ready.
