Ah, summer. The warm, sunny days, and short nights are perfect for getting outside and savoring nature with family and friends. But if you are an endurance runner, training in the heat comes with challenges.

Not only is running simply more uncomfortable as the mercury rises, but the combination of heat, sun, humidity and distance will begin to affect our performance as the body struggles to cool itself down.

If you've ever come back from a run soaked in sweat, or had salt stinging your eyes and staining your clothes, you probably already know that hydration is important. And if you are training this summer for a marathon or an ultra, a perfect hydration plan is an absolute must.

The question is how do we do it right for both our health and our performance?

To get into the precise details and science to help you craft your own personal hydration strategy, I invited sweat expert Andy Blow of Precision Hydration back on the Run to the Top to help me out. You may remember him from my interview with him in 2020, one of our most downloaded episodes of the year. If you haven't listened to that one, be sure to go back and check it out!
