Training Tip:
Staying hydrated is important when training. Too little water can lead to the weakness and dizziness of dehydration; too much can lead to hyponatremia, a dangerous lowering of your blood’s sodium levels. To keep a healthy balance, most experts recommend no more than 8 ounces every 20 minutes during intensive training. For sessions longer than 45 minutes, a sports drink (with electrolytes, like sodium) will help your body absorb more fluid. |
