HYDRATION DURING TRAINING  


There's an old saying, don't try anything new on Race Day!                               
                                                                                       
This goes for everything, especially nutrition and rehydration. So it is extremely important that we now practise taking in water and electrolytes to not only get our body used to it, but also to ensure our bodies can actually stomach what you will be consuming on the day.                                 
                                                                                       
We are also moving into some longer runs so it will also be important to consume some sports drinks during your training sessions to replace electrolytes and minerals lost through sweat.       
                                                   
Generally speaking, if you run in your aerobic zone, you don't need carbohydrates for the first 4 5minutes, so before your run, consume 600ml (don't scull) and that should be enough water to get through the first 45 minutes to 1 hour, then you can start on the carb drinks.
