Question

How often and how much do you drink (rehydrate) while jogging or running?

Answer 1

Drink a few sips before and after running. You cant drink to much water right away, because you will cramp up.

Answer 2

For me its always about hydrating really well before I go out for a long run..........I've done some long distances (over 8 Mi.) in very warm weather without even drinking the whole time.  I'm OK, but when I'm done I've got plenty of fluids to replenish what I've lost during my run.

Answer 3

i drink as much as much as 5 times when i jog or run

Answer 4

Never, you don't really need to drink when you run. You need to be hydrating throughout the day and before and after runs. I usually run around 3 in afternoon and never take water with me.

Answer 5

It depends.  I never drink if I'm running under 9 miles, even when it gets really hot out.  I hydrate a tremendous amount before I go for long runs, though.

The long routes are planned to coincide with drinking fountains.  I usually drink 1 time until about 15 miles, and 2-3 for longer runs.

Answer 6

I don't drink while I'm running, only before and after

Answer 7

I do not drink when  I run because that can lead to cramps or nausea..I usually hydrate all day though and stop drinking about an hour before I run.

Answer 8

its not often that I drink something when I go running.. depends on my distance.. just a short 5 miles run.. no .. but more than 15 miles.. yeah... I drink something.. and sometimes a energy snack....
