Building the race-day plan, one session at a time.
In his own training journal, Matt explains how he used hDrop during training and race simulations to refine his fueling and hydration plan for IRONMAN New Zealand, comparing readings across different efforts and bike-to-run sessions.
“Using the hDrop, I was able to get valuable insights to help dial in my race day nutrition and hydration strategy for IMNZ.”
Lionel shows hDrop in his training video The Cost of Fitness and discusses sweat and sodium readings from a ride. Follow along as he reviews his session data.

Sarah Bonner
Sarah put hDrop through seven sessions for Slowtwitch. She found value in using the readings to inform hydration and post-session recovery, while also noting friction with manually starting activities and logging fluid intake.
While preparing for the New York City Marathon, Emily used hDrop to explore her own sweat and electrolyte losses. Her article includes data from a 206-minute training run and explains how she used it when planning her hydration.
Easy runs, track work and a humid 16-mile long run gave Rebecca several settings to try hDrop. Her firsthand review follows how she brought sweat data into an established running routine.
Alyssa tested hDrop on runs for RunToTheFinish, exploring its setup, repeat use and session data. Her review discusses the appeal of a reusable sensor alongside concerns about the armband and consistency of readings.
With 70.3 North Carolina on her calendar, Brittany tried hDrop on runs, rides and brick sessions. She particularly valued reviewing her workout data afterward, and also called for an easier way to check the battery before heading out.
In his Badlands race report, Javier describes wearing hDrop alongside CORE and a heart-rate monitor. His account covers both the preparation and a difficult decision to stop at around 230 km after physical and mechanical problems.

Understanding sweat. Planning for the heat.
Helpful data to have. I’ve been using the hDrop sweat monitor to better understand my sweat and sodium losses and hopefully prevent some of the cramps I experience at the end of long events when it’s hot and humid in Florida. I especially like the Sweat Zone feature to see how my well my hydration strategies are working over the course of a training run. On top of that, the company provides excellent customer service and has been responsive and helpful whenever I’ve had questions.

Love this gadget. I was hesitant of getting this device, but it has been such a game changer for me and my training. I changed the way I hydrate and feeling way better on my rides. Customer support was also awesome.

It is been awesome being able to track hydration on my players. Some of them struggle with heat, and being able to benchmark them helped us buy the appropriate supplements.

It’s nice to have data to look at after a workout to see where I can modify my sodium quantities.
