been living in the states for about five months now and have noticed that runners take far too much water or isotonic drinks on their runs,i noticed a guy the other day had a utility belt with five bottles hanging of it what for?,when i was in marathon training i only used to take one to two bottles with me and some change to buy some if that run out which it never,far too much time on rehydration and not enough on a quality run without a rucksack swinging of your back,example on a ten mile road race you might see two to three drinks stations giving out small plastic cups of water more than enough to finish the race,rehydrate on the days before the race and just before you start and you will find that you will only need minimal refreshment during the race,too much water will lead to stomach cramps and frequent bathroom breaks,so ditch the bottles and run a lot more comfortable than you would think,
i feel thirsty now
keep on running
