To drink or not to drink

[Roy Scott]

crikey this thread still going

I'll drink if and when I'm thirsty ta, not because it'll make me faster but because I'm thirsty (ok, probably wouldn't bother on a shortish sub 2hr run)

Thanks for you valuable input.

What if you didnt drink to thirst and you were amongst the tens of thousands of runners that have been fed bad hydration advice for years; by the machine that is the sports drink companies. What if toliet breaks ruined your Marathon or fell race.

This is why it is important and not as trivial as you are suggesting.
