To quote your own acecdotal evidence of a few fell races over the recommendations of one of the most forward thinking sports scientists of our time is simple blinkered and out of touch. He is not just plucking out these figures, they are a result of some sound studies.
My point is that the article contradicts itself by saying that dehydration isn't a problem, and then recommending 5-6 mouthfuls of drink every 15mins. That doesn't make any sense.

Also, I'm not quoting my experiences as evidence to prove anything, I was simply pointing out that I can't understand how it would be possible to drink effectively 6 times the amount of water I did over the same time period, never mind any more (Tim Noakes suggests the 800ml/hour as a max to avoid hyponatremia so implying that people drink more than that :w00t

I'm actually agreeing with the research on dehydration but questioning the recommendations given at the tail end of the article as in my opinion it contradicts itself completely.
