I haven’t tried Nuun, but I’m open to it 🙂
I drink water, all the time, all day, and only switch to green tea for the other waking seconds of my life (I have a 5 mug a day habit – unsweetened). I don’t get how people can not like water? Do you do something to the water in the States? Is Australian water full of crack?
You’re so right about replacing electrolytes and fuelling. I have a confession – I used a gel for the first time on my long ‘run’ (elliptical/run) last week – a 19km. Boy did it make a difference!
i’m so with you, i don’t get people who start hating on the good old H2O!! haha…i do kno some areas have a metallically tasting water, but not everywhere. but i like ur idea that all u Aussies are cracked-out due to water…u crazy addicts. 😉 jk
I haven’t tried this either! But I think that if I continue to run, I might have to get some. 🙂 I love water! The first thing that I do when I get up in the morning is drink a full glass. I wasn’t aware of how much we dehydrate when we sleep and then I was drinking coffee…bad bad bad. 🙂
I hope to try this very soon! Thank you Cait!
AWESOME job for staying up on the H2O…but yea, the electrolytes need some replenishing too, so i’m happy when i popped to ur blog and saw u’re totally getting covered on that end. 🙂
i have learned over and over again how important hydration is…and honestly…i finally learned that its most important in the days leading up to a big run than the morning of. I used to try and cram it all in just before a race but now I start drinking electrolytes a few days before and try to stay consistent with my water intake whether i run or not that day. helps so much on race day! then i can just worry about fueling normally instead of having to make up for poor hydration in the past:) I have tried nuun and think its okay…my fave is honestly peach tea gu brew. love that stuff!
ppsssh, i don’t even need to bother trying to tell u advice, julz, u’re a pro by now. 😉 haha…i’m totally gonna report ur to the team Nunn police. 😉 jk
I drink SO MUCH water! I always crave it and make sure to stay hydrated. I definitely feel better when I am hydrated!
I haven’t tried NUUN yet but everyone keeps talking about it, so I guess I should try it!
