I recently figured out an improved method of taking salt tablets while running and thought I’d share it here: 1) Fold the salt tab into a 1-2 layer square of cling wrap. 2) Use clear tape to tape the edges onto your gel like a blister pack. It will help protect the salt tab in your sweaty pocket, and you can easily bite it open with your teeth to eat it without fumbling or fighting!
If you give it a try, let me know how it works for you!
