It's Hot Out There Today!

Below are some great tips from John Moyer, Co-Leader of Group 16:

Hydration is the key today!!!!

If you haven’t started hydrating, start now!! Don’t wait till minutes before it wont do you any good and will probably make you sick. Don’t go overboard with Gatorade. This stuff is made for vigorous exercise for more than 45 minutes. If you drink too much before a workout it will make you sick. I like to water down my Gatorade mixing it into your water throughout the day.

It seems like a lot but try to get a half gallon of water through your system by 5:45pm. Keep your air conditioning off in your car on the way to the run so you will be warmed up and acclimated to the heat. Eat a light lunch with a couple of health snacks this afternoon, fruit or granola bars are good snack idea.
