HOT today
Just done a 45 mile round trip, really quite slowly at about 14.3mph ave.
I drank over 3 litres of fluids & am still thirsty. Polar HRM said temp varied between 90F & 101F !!! Global warming or what. Niv (STILL sweating after cool shower). |

Niv (STILL sweating after cool shower). ============= If you're drinking that much in about 3 hours you could be putting yourself in danger. There was something in the news recently about excessive fluid intake. Apparently it can damage the body's electrolyte or salt levels and is almost as bad as a drinking binge on alcoholic drinks. Perhaps somebody can add more detail as this could be a serious problem for many people in this hot weather. I certainly never drank 3 litres during any marathons even in the hottest weather. A good way to re-hydrate after your exercise is to eat plenty of vegetables rather than just drinking liquids. Cic. |

Yes, but weighing myself before & after, there was still a difference (lighter), which is just down to fluid loss. I've had cracking headaches before when I've drunk less. I read somewhere that 1 L per hour is minimal for this sort of weather. Anyway, chilli's in the uWave & beer's in the fridge, time to chill in front of the TV. (veg out mode assumed). Niv |

"Aim to consume about a quarter of a pint of fluid for every hour of exercise, which won't replace everything you lose through sweat, but will maintain a healthy fluid balance," advises Tunstall-Pedoe. "More than that is not really advisable, unless it is very hot.'' For a simple way to ensure your fluid balance is healthy, the new guidelines suggest weighing yourself before and after exercise. Sutton agrees: "Any weight loss is not fat but fluid and you need to put it back. For every pound you lose after exercise, you should drink two medium glasses of water to replace it. /quote I guess as its nearly record breaking heat "very hot" covers it Fragg ======== Well, I would normally lose about 6 to 8 pounds during an 18 mile training run and I would never have been able to drink the 12 to 16 glasses of water required by the above formula. I'm not alone in these weight loss figures so there must be more to it than simple fluid intake. Cic. |

Trouble is, is the torygraphs idea of exercise mowing the lawn (for which 1/4 pt per hour might be about right), or three hours hard riding? I think had I done 3 hours riding today (actually I only did one hour on a bouncy castle) I'm confident that drinking less than a pint would have left me badly dehydrated. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |

Polar HRM said temp varied between 90F & 101F !!! Global warming or what. Niv (STILL sweating after cool shower). Very very hot out today. Did a quick cycle to Hyde Park, read a couple of books, then went to Oxford Street to pick up a few DVDs. My God was the cycle home hell. It's only a few miles, but the sun was on my face all the way, moo. Eventually got home, drank a load of water, sat down, sweated profusely, got a couple of pints of milk to down, started to feel much better. Strange, though - on the ride home after the daily commute, I normally prefer a couple of pints of milk to water... and yet have noticebly lost weight. Moooooo! Thomas. |

Thomas. good news ... part of my reason to do the commute run is for weight purposes ... a 30 mile round trip aiming for 3 or 4 days per week with a decent sunday ride thrown in too bikes broke at the moment though on my first ever ride from work so it didnt start off too well .. hope it works a little better when its back! Heh, well, it's taken a couple of visits to the local bike vets to sort out my cheapo mountain bike, but so far it appears to be doing the job quite well. When I remember to stick the lights on. However, my round trip's a shade under ten miles. Main reason for getting into cycling was buying a load of thirty-inch jeans that I couldn't get into... and that's always been my size... Slowly, the beer gut's coming away... Thomas. |
