Training for a fall marathon this summer?
You'll want to make sure you stay HYDRATED with not only water but electrolytes as well.
Remember: electrolytes are your best friend when it comes to preventing muscle cramps, fatigue, and dizziness (of course, there are other factors because ✨nuance✨ but if you're having those symptoms, electrolytes can be a good place to start).
Here are a few of the basic recommendations:
✅ 12-16oz (~2 cups) of water within 2 hours before you begin training. So if you have a morning run scheduled, get your booty up earlier to start hydrating.
✅ 3-4oz (~½ cup) of water every 15-20 minutes while running. Have a water bottle on hand so that you can take some gulps throughout your run.
✅ 16oz (~2 cups) for every pound lost while running (so if you weighed yourself before and after running and noticed you lost 2 pounds, that means you need to rehydrate with at least 4 cups of water).
Do you want a more personalized strategy for summer training? Have you tried adding in electrolytes but are still experiencing symptoms? Are you unsure how much of each electrolyte you need?
Then, nutrition coaching would be a great place to start! We cover all these things in our work together, plus you'll learn how to create a fueling strategy so you can crush your marathon training.
