Water stops
Anyone else hate drinking during a race? If I try to drink from those cups while running I almost drown. Yesterday I swallowed wrong and probably looked like I was puking water. And, even if I slow down or stop, I still feel like crap after drinking during a race. It seems like it just settles in my gut and makes me feel sick so I think I end up not drinking enough during a long race and end up dehydrated and dragging at the end. Any suggestions?

I don't run. But when I bike, I like drinking. Beause I don't want to bonk or cramp (and I have done both).

Both water and Gatorade make you sick?

I can job 13 without drink but it would feel better to race it with such stuff. And my main failing in Ironmen is nutrition. I typically bonk at the end of the bike. |
Sea Chicken I hate drinking while running as well. I take water everytime it's offered though and it doesn't make me feel sick. I just hate the fact that I nearly drown just getting one gulp down me; but I refuse to walk or stop to drink, it hurts too much to get going again.

I take a small swig every .5 miles or 1 km of running. keeps my hydrated without gulping down a lot of water.

I've never been really interested in drinking while running. But I've also never really run in the heat. When Steel and I went on a few long runs over the winter up to 13 miles, I never once felt any need to get a drink. I suspect a longer run or more heat would change that.
Nutrition and hydration are always my FIL's downfall in ultraraces. He can usually do okay until about mile 60-65, but then crashes hard. A few years ago I paced him from mile 50-62 at the Wasatch 100. I tried the whole time to get something in him - Gatorade, water, coke, gel. It came back up as soon as it went down. He made it to mile 83 that year. |
