Someone said to me that if you keep some salt tablets with you (available from chemists) on a long run that it's better than the all-singing, all-dancing sport/hydration drinks in terms of keeping electrolyte levels up. Came from a marathon runner, has anyone else done this or tried this on a long run.

I'll usually just drink water during my long run, but will load up on electrolytes during the week and especially the day before. Before a marathon, I down a big jug of pedialyte the day before and another one a couple of hours before the race.
There are a number of electrolyte drink mixes that you should consume regularly if you're going to be sweating a ton during your workouts that I would recommend: UCAN Hydrate and Nuun Hydrating tablets.
