Thankful to share a very enjoyable morning at Missouri Running Company in UCity this week. One of the goals of our program was to determine runners sweat loss as the temperatures drop now that we've officially hit December. Sure we sweat less than during St. Louis summers, but overlooking proper hydration during the winter months can make your run feel way harder than it ought.After taking body composition pre- and post-workout, we found the average runner lost 1.5 pounds of water on a 40 degree F run. So how do we accurately replace it? For every pound of water lost, take in 2-3 cups of fluid. This speeds recovery and lubricates areas between your muscles, so the joints of your knees and vertebral column stay pliable and safe. Cheers and MoRuns for all.
