Short runs, long runs, trail runs, hikes, jogs, and any type of workouts require fuel and hydration before, during and after!  Runners High carries a full line of hydration carriers/bottles as well as energy gels, energy chews, electrolyte replacements, and recovery drinks/mixes.

Top 10 Hydration  tips

1.  Find a baseline for your sweat rate. Weigh yourself before and after an hour run.  You will need to drink 20-24oz of liquid for every pound lost.

2. Drink before, during, and after your exercise.

3. What and when you drink is determined by many variables.  These variables include length of run, outside temperature, and your pace.  Water or a low calorie sports drink will suffice for runs under an hour.  For those long runs (over 2 hours) choose a sports drink with 60g of carbs and 300 - 1000 mg of sodium.

4. Experiment and practice your hydration plan.  Don't wait until race day to try your hydration plan!  Experiment during practice/training.

5. Drink small amounts at one time, but, drink often.  A good rule of thumb is 6 - 8 oz every 15 minutes.

6. Avoid commercial soft drinks.. need we say more?

7. Watch your alcohol and caffeine intake.  While not necessary to avoid it caffeine is a diuretic. Use it judiciously.

8. Pre-Hydrate. If you are an early morning runner, keep a glass of water by your bedside and hydrate throughout the night.

9. Give your bladder a break.  Stop drinking one hour before the race to give your bladder a break and help settle your stomach.

10. Stick to what you know.  In the days leading up to a race, do not experiment with food or drink!
