Tip of the Month -- JANUARY 2004 -- Training

from Darryl Nelson (email Darryl)

Stay well hydrated during training and competitions. Dehydration can cause significant decreases in aerobic endurance, anaerobic endurance, muscular endurance, and strength. Drink water (not soda pop) throughout the day…small amounts frequently is best. Drink an additional 2 cups of water just prior to training or competing. Also, drink a cup of water every 20 minutes during your training or competition. Monitor your hydration level by weighing yourself just before and immediately after your event. Weight lost during the event is water lost through sweat. Consume water to return to your pre-event weight ASAP.

“We are what we repeatedly do…excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
-Aristotle
