Tip from the DC Road Runners!
STAY ON SCHEDULE
WHY According to a study in the July 2009 Journal of Sports
Sciences, when cyclists recorded their plan for hydrating during
workouts—including exact times and amounts—they drank more frequently and
consumed more fluid midworkout than their nonplanning peers. "Planning
helps people remember how much and when they need to drink," says lead
author Martin Hagger, Ph.D., of the University of Nottingham in the United
Kingdom.
DRINK UP Note your thirst during your runs, and write down how
offen and how much you drink. Review your notes to help you plan when to drink.
Set your watch to beep every 15 minutes as a reminder to consider your thirst.
"Drinking smaller amounts at regular intervals can help you absorb fluid
more effectively," says Dimmick, "and avoid stomach sloshing."
