Every Saturday, Coached hosts a group video call for our athletes. We share updates, celebrate results, and answer athlete questions. Now and then, we invite a guest with expertise in a specific area to join our call and educate our team.
Recently, we had Andy Blow call in from a campsite in the UK, where he was enjoying the weekend with his family. Andy is the founder of Precision Hydration and is a wealth of knowledge for all athletes who want to hydrate optimally.
Rather than keep his words of advice to ourselves, I thought it would be worth sharing here.
In this video, Andy shares…
- Why proper hydration is essential for athletes.
- Why you have to be careful of chronic dehydration.
- Why avoid overhydration.
- The effects of taking too much sodium.
- How long it takes your body to absorb sodium.
- How to plan hydration for training/racing in colder climates.
