When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
If you drink too much before a run, you risk the following problems - 2. Means you need to consume even more salt to balance the fluids you have taken in in the days leading up to the race I prefer to run on the dry side. Dehydration slows you down; overhydration kills you. Typically, by starting dry and hydrating based on thirst, I end up just right in a marathon and never have to pee before or during the race. My last drink is usually before bed, with a sip before leaving the house. The emphasis on prerace and during-race hydration is overrated, and may be dangerous.
