Dehydration

That is pretty stupid...but you obviously realise that!  6 mile without a drink is bad!

Still doesn't dound like you have rehydrated?

I'd keep off the d&b until you really are rehydrated.

And don't do it again. It's not worth it.

I think the question really Brad is how well prepared prior to your run were you?
Not sure what the weather was like for you this morning but where I am it was cool first thing. I ensure that I'm well hydrated prior to a run as I dont take water with me. This mornings run was 13 miles and I feel that this is possibly as far as I like to go without water but just in case I always have a couple of bob in my shorts to nip into a shop and get a drink.
You can tell how well hydrated you are by the colour of your pee, the darker it is, the more fluid you need.

I pleased with this thread about NO DRINKS while you run.People are stupid and Thick.You got to have drinks with you because you may cause damange in your inside and you will collapse for good? I went to my local gym last week which own by Harpers Fitness and there all talk about H&S and Drinks and Towel because we may get some BUGS around the Gym.But NO Harpers all there care about is Money not us to use the gym.Anyway  there was shouting while I do my Warm Up inwhich those 2 people should tak it outside althrough there did'nt.All the fuss is the young man have no towel or a drink with him and he say to the other man(I DONT SWEAT). You got to. If not something wrong with him?

If you are well hydrated all the time then there is no need to have a drink for long distances,  but individuals are different.  I can run for an hour without one but I drink 2 litres at least a day and know that I am properly hydrated.

Hydration is a proactive thing not a reactive one.

Thank you I think people may take note of us?

Nice to hear from you agin?

I think so do.There  body  and you only live once?

Depends very much on the individual. I've just done 13 miles in warm but not humid weather and took a pint or so with me. Could have done with more, tbh. I'll happily race a half marathon in winter without drinking but in any other season I need my fluids. I'm not a big bloke but I sweat bucketloads.

I doubt that one would seriously dehydrate over 11 miles in anything other than extreme conditions, though. 

Off to put the kettle on now for my second cuppa in quick succession.

I agree if well hydrated pre run you probably dont need anything for 10 miles in hot weather, further in cooler weather

its personal preference though

I'l happily run fairly long distances (12 mile or so) without taking a drink with me, unless it's unusually hot weather - which isn't that often. On the occasions when I've taken a drink with me, it's the smallest of the donut bottles, and I've rarely got through half the bottle.

As others have said, if you keep yourself well hydrated all of the time, you shouldn't need to be downing loads during the run itself.

Of course, people vary and I guess some sweat more than others (though I do seem to sweat bucket loads myself!), so everyone's needs are certainly different - but not 'stupid' if you don't always take drink with you.

The only time I've really found a drink invaluable is if I've swallowed a fly, on those few occasions I've been glad of having something with me, but not for hydration per se.
