Bullshit. Everyone gets thirsty.
Thirst is an imperfect signal. There are some good studies out there.
Somewhere between the Gatorade marketing science and Noakes there's a truth.
And everyone's an individual.
A few things and I’ve just read the preliminary/abstract.
It appears that 11 out of 266 runners were recorded to have EAH (hyponatremia?) they appear to redefine that range to 135-145 compared to Noakes 10 years ago on this board (130-140) 4x that dehydrated.
About 80% were normal, or appeared to have a normal event within their abilities.
Of particular note is that these people are referred to as “elite” the range however is +/- 6 hours.
That’s like taking Jan Frodeno and the 17:59 finisher at Kona, lumping them (and everyone in between) all together and calling them elite.
Anyways, predominant indicators for the 11 EAH were body weight and self described training....and resultant very slow times, umm yeah if your walking for 10-18 hours you’re unlikely to need 2L per hour.
Don’t have full text but I’m ordering it later.
