Hi there! In this episode of “Running at the Speed of Life,” I’m taking you beyond basic hydration advice to explore what actually happens when dehydration strikes during endurance events.
I’ve seen elite ultrarunners reduced to hallucinating zombies and weekend warriors hitting the pavement face-first when their bodies wave the white flag.
Join me as I share the fascinating science behind how dehydration affects your performance, what warning signs to watch for, and practical strategies I’ve learned from years on the trails. This isn’t about pretty water bottles—it’s about understanding the enemy that’s taken down more race dreams than any hill or blister ever could!
