Finding the right way to stay hydrated on runs can be challenging, especially during longer sessions. Some runners prefer carrying a water bottle, while others opt for hydration packs or rely on water stations along their routes. There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution; what works well for one person might not cut it for someone else.
With the changing weather here in Vancouver, it’s easy to misjudge how much water I need. I’ve tried timing my water intake based on my mileage, yet I still sometimes feel off during my runs. For those who have dealt with hydration issues, what strategies have you found effective? Are there any tips you would share with beginners? Additionally, what signs do you watch for that suggest you might be dehydrated?
