taying hydrated is extremely important for runners. Women need 2.7 liters a day to stay hydrated (fellas – you’re at 3.7 liters), especially if you’re active. Runners lose 300 mg of sodium or more when they are running for an hour or more. Make sure to check out our hydration guide. Recipe provided in partnership with Briana Bruinooge (@AdventurousBri_RD), a Registered Dietitian and Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, and Nuun Hydration.
