Toxins, Schmoxins!

Interesting article, wouldn't stop me having massages though!

Marvelous info ;D thanks ;D

This article begins speaking mainly about massage, but is also very much about water/hydration.

Read it and let's see what you think about it.

Your water requirement depends on multiple factors: 1. Physiology: Age/weight/sex 2. Climate: Hor dry climate will necessicate higher water requirement. 3. Metabolic activities: One active runner or marathon...

I live in a hot and humid area so I usually drink about 3 liters a day but I would advise at least 2 liters a day if you lead an active lifestyle.  I never go anywhere without my water bottle :)  I also put some lemo...

Not less than 8 glasses of water

8 glasses a day is recommend for the average person highly active with exercise, i consume water whenever i can ( around 15 glasses a day) As Evan says check your urine anything but clear means you arent taking...

I need to drink at least 15 cups a day or I feel like I'm not getting enough water. I usually aim for 18-20 cups a day though. It sounds like a lot but if you work out and sip on it through out the day, it's not hard...

Ive got a 750ml camel back water bottle. And I try to empty it as often as possible. Dont take offense to this...but regardless of activity level, if your urine isnt clear...youre not drinking enough.

Cheers Eddie. It's strange as the reports I read about the Camelbak Ultra weren't very reliable either. Just shows you that you can't neccessarily trust what people say (especially on the internet) and if possible it's best try something on in a s...

I wanted to let you know that I am a 5'10" 200lb runner who wears the Nathan Endurance 2.0L Vest.....it fits quite nicely and I am far from a skinny little runner.  I have in cinched up a bit too, so it has plenty of room to grow with me if I deci...

Hi, I don't have the ability to add equipment reviews for some reason so here is a quick note on the Camelbak Ultra LR vest: I'm getting into my distance running again and aspire to get into ultra running in the near future. I got a load of Amazon...

Hi everyone, I know that since I have been living in Thailand I have been drinking alot more water, with the Hot weather here + the working out it is very important to stay hydrated... 

I have started runniing in the past 2 months (and have been a regular gym member for 2 years) and my best run is 20k in just over 2 hours (today).  I never know how much to drink.  I don't really feel thirsty at all while I run and usually only ha...

Great post! Lots of great information :) Thanks!

Only time I actually got cramp from running was when I drank to much before running. Try drinking less.

I drink ordinary water and when done running I drink a gainer (fast carbs and protein) to make sure I don't lose any weight and get my energy back.

Did not know how to post a picture. Link is to my favorite water bottle that I had. G...

I've enjoyed seeing all of the different types of packs and belts, etc... that people are useing.  Why not post a picture of your favourite piece or pieces of hydration equipment....or if you have places to stop on your run go ahead and post a pic...

Because gatorade is food like...complex and requires digestion, it is best to take it in before and after runs and use water during your runs.

I use a Nathan belt with two bottles (to stay balanced) and I love it.  I dehydrate quite quickly (and rarely hydrate enough in the first place) so it has completely changed my running experience for the better.  Too...

The most common cause for stomach cramps is over-exertion of the diagphram.  There is no other way around this other than to run it off.  I.e. keep running till you r body gets use to this and it goes away. When I...

Another little trick you can try, as it has worked quite well for me in the past, is to exagerate your arm swing a little.  Keeping the same pace, concentrate on your arm swing and deep breathing....pretty much as Ba...

 Very good question Amber.  I've dealt with this myself.  I prefer water during runs:  Gatorade after a run or work out is fine .  I personally prefer Sobe, or Vitamin H20.  I'm a strong believer in drinking water ev...
