Rule #1: Stay Hydrated

Published on June 24, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Sports. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

Right now I am partially annoyed with Wordpress because I wrote this post yesterday and it did not post. The draft was simply the title.

This will be the Clif’s Notes version of the post that is lost on the interwebs.

Yesterday reminded me of a critical lesson that I took the chance to forget over the winter. Hydration is key to training and physical activity in general. MN summers provide plenty of scorchers like yesterday in the high 80’s. Since summer is finally upon us and I’m finally back in the TC, it is time to get outside and do all the amazing things summer lets you do.

Prior to a race or big event it is best to stop training or train very very lightly for about a week. During this time period hydration is absolutely essential. It will increase comfort and performance on race day. This means drinking a lot of water and electrolytely beverages (like gatorade). Staying hydrated is equally important for training and working out. Sometimes it is easy to forget about.

On the other hand, it is something incredibly easy to do everyday to ensure that you will be ready to go when you want to be. The important thing is to keep it mind, not to obsess over it.

This post is the first in a series preempting an exciting (albeit late starting) summer in MN.

    So… drink lots of beer?

    In all seriousness, drinking plenty of water is about the easiest thing you can do to ease a hard workout. There are so many of us (including me) that don’t put in the due diligence to stay on top if this. After all, if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
