Along with water, make sure you get salt tabs, endurolytes or something like that. I think for someone who is outside as much as you, there is no such thing as too much water!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-9388978185546280882013-06-28T12:34:10.368-05:002013-06-28T12:34:10.368-05:00Good point above.

I will NEVER drink Nuun again. IMO, it was the reason for my Projective Vomit Show put on while pacing the P'cola Marathon. Gatorade is also out for the same reasons. I do use UCAN before workouts and races, but use it sparingly because it's so expensive. I also use Endurolytes before LRs and may start incorporating them on shorter runs, too. <br /><br />Every athlete is different, and what is great for one person, won't work for another. It's a trial and error process! L.A.

I've started getting a slurpee on my long workout days and that seems to help. . . Nuun is also a godsend for me.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914955044359192521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-36743399424538751992013-06-28T10:33:58.294-05:002013-06-28T10:33:58.294-05:00Water is great, but when you are dehydrated it hel...Water is great, but when you are dehydrated it helps to drink something with electrolytes to help get you back to normal.
