Hydration Question for Keith
This question is for Keith but really I'm open to all opinions so feel free to chime in....
I am running my first 10K on 9/8. I ran today and will run again on Monday and Thursday before the race on Sunday. I'm also getting ready to have BL/BA and LBL on 9/9 the day after the race. I've asked my surgeon permission and he gave me the green light as long as I promised to stay hydrated. My current plan is to drink a gallon of water on Thursday-Sunday. I'm also supposed to drink 32 oz of Gatorade on Sunday afternoon. Is this enough or do you think I should drink less/more?
