review 1: Awesome read - I'm doubting anyone EVER tried so hard (and succeeded) to prove a point. Charts, graphs, studies, personal experience, and interviews, all woven perfectly together.The only downside? I shoulda read this before buying my last hydration pack;-)Here's the 5¢ tour...- Drink only when you're thirsty- If you eat a lotta salt, you sweat/pea a lotta salt- Cool down- Never trust a Gatorade- Relax your body will self regulate (almost) everything
review 2: I heard that this book was an easy read. That's funny. I don't think so and it is a lot boring, at least it was to me. I agree with what it said however. The idea of drinking several ounces of water prior to a marathon and then drinking at every aid station that is 1 mile apart is definitely way too mu... morech!!! It talked about the history of what athletes would drink or not drink at events, which species of animals sweat, which don't and why, salt balance in the body, sports drink industry and their changes and the book explained terms that I have never even heard of like EAH (Exercise Associated Hyponatremia! Good to know. I of course will say sure, every runner should read it, good info to know. But, it was not an easy read. less
