YOUR S WEA T RA TE To measure your sweat rate and the amount of uid you are losing in the heat, weigh yourself before and after a run. Ideally, you want to stay within 1-2 percent of your fully hydrated body weight. A 100 lb. person might lose 2 percent of their body weight and need to take in 32-48 ounces of uid, while a 200 lb. person might lose 4 lb. and need to take in 64-96 ounces of uid. Yo u can pre-hydrate and top up your hydration on the run to try and stay within the 1-2 percent loss range. INFORMATION PROVIDED BY USATF CERTIFIED COACH ANDREW ALLDE N.
