Another run under our belts. FANTASTIC! 

There have been a number of studies done on the effects of hydration while 
exercising so you can find many different suggestions on what is best to do. 
Ultimately, the best thing is to take in all the information you hear and 
combine that with individual needs of your body and hopefully your outcome 
will be successful. I will help to outline the key elements and help you 
find the techniques that work for you. 

That being said, it is important to stay hydrated while exercising as it can 
impact your performance, may cause headaches, and could leave you feeling 
sluggish and tired. 

It is just as important not to over hydrate either as it can make you feel 
nausea or give you cramps or may dilute electrolytes in your body to an 
unhealthy level which is known as Hyponatremia. 

The easiest thing to do is to listen to your body and drink when you are 
thirsty. 

Also know that you will not always get this exactly right on every run but 
that is why we are training and in the end we hope to know a little more 
about what works for us. 

I encourage you to start bringing water with you on each run. We will have 
some water belts available for purchase and we can also recommend some 
places to get water belts. 

You will continue to hear me talk about hydration as we progress throughout 
our training. If you have any questions please let me know.
