Water Is Only Part Of The Story

As the temperatures are set to climb over the next several days, and everyone is resuming their running routines as school ends, it's a good time to think about hydration.

Runner's World has a short but excellent article, reminding us that hydration is not just about the water.  You need to make sure you are replacing sodium and potassium.  So, make sure you are getting your 8+ glasses of water each day, but also make sure you are replacing electrolytes.

Also, remember to avoid caffeine, as that discourages your body from retaining water.
