From Christine Luff, your Guide to Running & Jogging
I've heard lots of excuses for why people don't drink during their runs. Some runners assume drinking water will give them cramps, they don't want to carry a bottle, or they don't want to have to stop at a water fountain. But if you're running longer than 30 minutes, there's really no good reason to not hydrate during your run, especially during the warmer weather.

Hydration Needs for Runners
Staying hydrated is critical to your running performance and, more importantly, for preventing heat-related illnesses. Find out how to hydrate before, during, and after your runs.

Should I Drink Cold Water When Running?
I've heard runners say that they think they'll get cramps if they drink cold water before or during running. Find out the truth.

When Are Sports Drinks Necessary During Runs?
Find out when you should consume sports drinks and when plain water will suffice.
