Basic Hydration Guidelines for Running from a Registered Dietitian

How much do you need to drink to stay hydrated for running and racing? In this video I'm covering hydration guidelines for runners of various distances and why hydration is so important for performance, recovery and gut health.
We'll discuss how hydration/dehyration impacts running performance, GI distress when running, and gut permeability. I also cover how much to drink before a run, while running under 1 hour, over one hour and when to add electrolytes/sodium (see some options below). I will do a future video regarding carbs and electrolytes.
There are also other factors to consider for how much water to drink when running, such as sweat rate, temperature, distance, and personal comfort.
