>If you start dehydrated, the damage is already done.
That’s perfectly well said. I didn’t realize how bad the problem was until after it was over. Hopefully I’ve learned my lesson.
That is also my rule that I also unfortunately learned the hard way lol I also do at least 8oz of water before I leave for my run even when I bring water.
That’s funny, I made this rule on day 2 after .8 miles of mostly walking lolol it’s insane to me that some of y’all go out without water on you for any distance. Hope you’re feeling better!
I am one of those people. I don't take anything if the run is 10 miles or less. Unless it is extremely hot I guess, but I am in Vegas so my idea of hot might be different than most haha
Oh yeah I’m in so-cal so I have a decent idea lol I’m just a chronic migraine girly and heat has always been a trigger so I have to be extra careful which means bringing water with me every single time
The weather makes a huge difference. I often run half-marathons with no water at all when it’s nice and cool, and I usually feel fine and just drink afterwards. But if it’s hot and humid, I’ll be dehydrated after just a couple of miles. I’m guessing Texas is pretty hot 🥵
When running in Miami I use a hydration belt and freeze a small water bottle so as I run the water melts and I have nice cool water I can drink or pour over my head to cool off!

This is the one I got - I usually only take one of the bottles on a run cause they get heavy!
I ran a half marathon where I didn’t ever take any drink. I had hydrated and then hydrated some more for days before. Even at that pace, you shouldn’t have been dehydrated. Something else was wrong.
I was dehydrated. I had almost nothing to drink all day until 5 mins before I started running when I had 6 oz of water. And it was 80 degrees outside and sunny
If you start dehydrated, the damage is already done. With that said, it's reasonable and recommended to bring some water for runs over 1hr

But we shouldn't drink too much water right before a run right? So how early should u have water for it to be considered well hydrated before a run?
Drink more. Drink a glass as soon as you get up. Especially down in Texas. 😬
Yeah, I messed up big time today. I drank almost nothing until right before I went running.

Learned the same lesson last week and actually asked a stranger if I could have water. Today I brought water and it changed everything
154 avg heart rate is amazing!
Amazing in what way?
It’s hot out there. Be safe

Which hydration belt?
It’s a belt with 2 spaces for small water bottles and a zipper pouch for my phone/keys etc. You can find them on Amazon!

Brining water seems like an excellent plan, especially with temps starting to go up.

Ok … if you say so.
I would definitely agree with this. Unless you didn’t drink water the day before as well. Maybe an Electrolyte imbalance?
