Is this a good electrolyte recipe?

I've been training for a marathon while here in South Texas, which means I sweat a LOT during my runs. I've been looking to cut my sodium intake as well, so instead of NACl, I used a salt substitute (Potassium Chloride). I modeled my recipe after the WHO's Oral Rehydration Recipe:

  • 1 Liter of water
  • 1 teaspoon of KCl
  • 6 teaspoons of Sugar

Is this good? Would there be any benefit/difference with using Potassium Citrate instead? I want to make sure I get my potassium while also reducing my Sodium intake as well.
