Hydration is one of those factors that is often overlooked and sometimes not even a thought until it is too late.  Ironically, it is one of the simplest, most effective ways to improve training, and overall well-being.

Drinking enough, fluids should be as automated as making sure you have your shoes, gloves, equipment, etc. what is a non-negotiable. 

We recommend athletes continuously drink fluids from the moment they wake up till about two hours before they go to bed. 

Sodium and carbohydrate intake will also have a positive impact on hydration status as they assist in pulling water into the cells. Most hydration should be done with water, however, during and after intense exercise, or after excessive sweating athletes can replenish with 200-400mg of sodium with an electrolyte supplement. 

While there are several ways to assess fluid intake, the easiest way is to assess your urine, dark, yellow, or brown or signs of dehydration, urine should be a light yellow clear a color.
