Most runners nail their taper, their carb-load, their race morning breakfast. Then they wing the hydration part.

It's not complicated, just easy to overlook: start early, follow the 16oz-then-8oz rule leading into the gun, and reach for electrolytes if it's hot or you're out there a while. Water's fine for shorter efforts, but it's not doing the sodium and potassium's job.

The whole plan works best when it's boring and familiar by race day. Test it on a long run first.

Still riding the Big Sugar high. 💙

Stella Hobbs took a commanding win in the women’s race, and Cole Paton grabbed 3rd in a finish separated by less than half a second to the top. It's hard not to still be stoked about that.

Congrats to both. Enjoy the off-season. You’ve absolutely earned it!

Nobody loses a 5K in the last mile because of their training. They lose it because of what they drank — or didn't — 24 hours earlier.

Race morning hydration is basically damage control at that point. The real work happens the day before, with steady sipping and actual electrolytes, not just water.

And yes, your coffee's fine. Drink it. Just don't let it be the only thing in your system.

Hydration gets oversimplified into "drink more water," but your body is asking for more nuance than that.

The short version: dehydration doesn't have to be dramatic to hurt you. Losing just 2% of your body weight in sweat is enough to make everything feel harder. And most of what you're losing isn't just water, it's sodium too.

The fix isn't complicated. Hydrate before you start, match your intake to how long and hard you're going, and don't be afraid of salt, it's usually the missing piece, not the problem. Short session, keep it simple. Long session, treat carbs and fluids as a team effort.

Save this one for your next hot, long, or just plain sweaty session.

Paula Findlay is headed to Kona. 🌺

Earlier this year, made her full-distance IRONMAN debut at Lake Placid - and won!

Now she’s lining up on the biggest stage in the sport at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona this Saturday.

We’ll be cheering her on all the way from the start line to the finish.

Let’s go, Paula. 👊

Mile 20. Legs are heavy, brain is foggy, and every runner around you looks like they're fighting the same battle. This is the wall — and it's almost always preventable.

Your body stores about 90 minutes of glycogen. After that, you're running on whatever you brought with you. The fix is simple: 30-60g of carbs an hour, starting around 45 minutes in, before you feel like you need it.

Practice it in training. Race day should feel like just another long run, minus the surprises.
