I've got some questions about fighting dehydration on long training periods.
How much liquid per hour on the bike vs the run?
How much fluid do you guys take in daily outside of training and do you add electrolytes/sea salt to your water during non-training hours?
Do you change the amount of fluid winter vs summer or just hours in training?
Do you older girls change fluid consumption according to hot flashes/night sweats?
Do any of you have issues on the bike with bloating from too much water/too little water and how do you find the right balance between calories/fluid?
I have been experimenting with fluid/calories and blew it royally on my 70 mile ride yesterday and spent 20 min puking at mile 66 waiting for my hubby to pick me up after I called him feeling like I was going to pass out. I won't bore you with what I did or did not do. Just trying to get it right. I realize calories per hour can flucuate highly between people. What would you consider the lowest range for a 50+ female in the BOP for HIM/IM distances for bike and run?
Thanks in advance
