When your long run is 90+ minutes, hydration needs When your long run is 90+ minutes, hydration needs to be part of the plan..especially in summer ๐Ÿฅต

Here are 5 coach-approved tips  to keep in mind before you head out the door this weekend:ย 

1๏ธโƒฃ START hydrated. 

Clear or light yellow urine is a good sign youโ€™re ready to go. Darker? Drink some more water before heading out.

2๏ธโƒฃ Adjust your plan for the weather.

Summer half or full marathon training means, youโ€™ll likely need to drink more frequently because youโ€™re sweating more.

More sweat = more hydration needed. And weโ€™re not just talking about water๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

3๏ธโƒฃ Sip throughout your run, not just before & after. 

For long runs in warmer climates (hello summer in the South ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป), we recommend water + electrolytes OR plain water paired with a salt tab. 

As a general guideline, sip every 1โ€“2 miles in summer and every 3โ€“4 miles in winter, adjusting based on how much you sweat.

4๏ธโƒฃ Carry water however works for YOU. 

Handheld, belt, hydration vest...thereโ€™s no prize for making hydration harder than it needs to be.

5๏ธโƒฃ Keep hydrating when the run ends. 

Especially after 60+ minutes in summer, you may still finish dehydrated.

Get a full bottle of water in afterward and consider adding electrolytes if you are a heavy sweater.ย 

Hydrated, fueled bodies can run longer, faster, more efficiently AND more enjoyably.

๐Ÿ’พ Save this one before your next long run.
