I am not a marathon runner, but I am an avid runner. I’m not overly fast or skilled, although I try to run nearly once a day. My goal is simply to stay fit plus feel great. I noticed that while all of us were in warmer weather, I was feeling exhausted partway through my run. I did some research plus figured out that I wasn’t really hydrating. Not wanting to drink enough water was severely impacting my performance plus putting myself and others at risk of serious health concerns. Water supplies energy to cells plus cushions joints, takes away waste plus regulates body temperature. By having enough water, I can lessen the possibility of injury plus cramping. Proper hydration also speeds time. Through research, I gained that it doesn’t matter if the weather is sunny or hot or overcast plus cold. When I run, my body generates twenty times more heat. The sweat helps to cool myself and others down plus also results in a loss of required electrolytes. Sacrificing more than 2 to 3 percent of body weight through fluid can lead to dehydration. Fatigue, headaches, muscle pain plus increased heart rate are all indications of dehydration. I was definitely illuminating some of these signs. I’ve now started drinking water prior to, while all of us were in plus after the run. I start consuming extra water a few hours before heading out on the run. Once I arrive back at home, I not only drink water but snack on water-based, healthy foods, such as grapes, berries, greens plus melon. Because I’m taking proactive measures to protect my body, I have far more stamina plus energy.
