How do you actually plan your hydration? It’s part science, part common sense and yes, a bit of maths. In this episode, we break down sweat rates, sodium loss, and how much you really need to drink (hint: replacing everything isn’t the goal).
We also cover hydration training, recovery, and why rest days might be more about your head than your body. Whether you’re tackling endurance events or just want to feel better on long sessions, this one’s for you.
