8: How to hydrate in the winter: cold weather runs and indoor trainer rides

Well, if you're like me and in Canada or certain parts of North America .. winter is coming! The temperatures have dropped and you may still brave the cold and train outside, but you're probably also starting to get the trainer (or treadmill) ready for some indoor training. 

 

But.. how does that impact how much we should be drinking? Do we really still sweat much outside in the cold? 

 

In today's podcast, I will answer all that and more: 

 

-How does our sweat rate change when we train in colder weather or when we train indoors (and what are all the factors that do affect sweat rate)

 

-How much should we drink each day, in the few hours leading up to training and during? 

 

-Warm, hydrating beverages you can drink too rehydrate after a run workout in the cold 

 

-How much sodium do we lose in sweat? How do we know if we need electrolytes or if we are a salty sweater?
