Hammer Nutrition Training Tip #1:
Hydration
KEEP FLUID INTAKE BETWEEN 16-28 OUNCES PER HOUR DURING EXERCISE
FACT: In general, most athletes, under most conditions, will satisfy hydration needs with a fluid intake in the range of 20-25 ounces/hour – roughly the equivalent of a standard size small or large water bottle.
Lighter athletes and/or athletes exercising in cool weather conditions may only require an intake of 16-18 ounces/hour. Larger athletes and/or athletes exercising under very hot and humid conditions are the ones that can consider a fluid intake in the range of 28 ounces/hour, perhaps up to 30 ounces/hour in extreme conditions.
It’s important to remember that regular fluid intake over 30-34 ounces hourly significantly increases the potential for serious performance and health problems.
