You plan your pace. You plan your route. You put in the kilometres.
But as your runs get longer, there’s another part of your training worth planning: hydration.
Long runs give you the opportunity to learn how your body responds to different conditions, different levels of effort and different hydration strategies. Instead of leaving it to race day, use your training to build a routine that works for you.
Your Hydration Plan Starts in Training
Sweat means losing both fluid and electrolytes, including sodium. How much you lose can vary based on the athlete, the conditions and the intensity of the session, which is why hydration isn't one-size-fits-all.
The goal isn't simply to drink as much as possible. It's to practise a hydration routine that takes your individual needs and training conditions into account.
Your long runs are the ideal time to do that. Pay attention to how much you're sweating, the conditions you're running in and how your hydration strategy fits alongside the rest of your training.
Test it. Adjust it. Practise it again.
Where Hydration MAX Fits In
For longer runs and sessions with higher sweat losses, BioSteel Hydration MAX can help replenish electrolytes as part of your hydration plan.
Each serving provides:
- 1,000 mg sodium
- 500 mg potassium
- 50 mg magnesium
- Zero sugar
- No caffeine
Convenient single-serve packets make Hydration MAX easy to keep in your training bag and work into your routine when the kilometres—and the sweat—start adding up.
Don't Forget Your Fuel
Hydration and fuelling are both important parts of preparing for longer efforts, but they aren't the same thing.
Hydration MAX is sugar-free, so while it provides electrolytes, it does not provide the carbohydrates you may need to fuel a longer run.
Think about hydration and carbohydrate intake as separate parts of your long-run strategy—and use your training to practise both before race day.
