We have never tried that. But, I don't run marathons either....in fact, I don't run at all unless absolutely necessary! Have a good one, Bill!
The hydration drinks have become an important addition to our outside activities. If they didn't work...Professional sports would not be using them.
I am a big water fan. I have it with me constantly. My climate is very dry and everything dries out. I will only use the sports drinks when I'm doing something physical.
WE learned this a long time ago working on the farm, but, then you did also.
William:
I have been water logged (as we used to say) a few times during football practice when I over saturated my body. Not a good thing.
