Let's face it - I sweat A LOT when running. I can literally wring out my clothes after a long run. I've done the weight test (weigh myself before and after a run) and found that I can lose 3 lbs or more depending on the length and intensity of a workout. The question is; "Am I adequately replacing lost fluids?" After a bit of searching, I found this article. It does answer quite a few of my questions. Great information ... much of it is common sense.
After reading the article I realize that I'm probably not hydrating enough. However, I'm not going to stress over the math. I'm going to listen to my body. Feel what it's telling me. Take notice and adjust my water intake when necessary. The article also warns against hyponatremia, caused by drinking too much water.
Bottom line - find your balance. Know what you need.
Now Get Out There!!!
