As an athlete for over 30 years, I can honestly say ‘I know dehydration signs no one else talks about!”
I have experienced them myself and didn’t know what they were until years later when I myself became a nutrition therapy coach. Dehydration is more than just muscle cramping. But nobody mentions them. I really have no explanation as to why, but I want YOU to know those other signs as I have seen and felt them in my races and training, and until I did, I was not really able to do what I needed to to have truly successful races.
Watch the video below to get more of the symptoms – you have to know YOUR symptoms.
I listed most of them here in an earlier blog about dehydration, so why repeat myself??!!
If you are cramping, getting stiff, nauseous, headachy, despondent (and don’t want to do more running or cycling), crappy mood, throwing up, chills, stiff neck and shoulders, feel like the wind got knocked out of you sails, don’t feel fresh off the bike or just loopy….these may be your signs and we can help you create a customized plan for your half, full or ultra marathon or triathlon.
You may also consider getting your sweat testing done with Levelen. Then you will have the exact numbers so we do not have to guess…although I gotta say, I guess pretty well now! Start here with sweat testing if you choose not to go with levelen. (use code NIMPA doe a 20% discount!)
Review these signs of dehydration that no one talks about and go with the symptoms. Replenish and prevent them with a better nutrition/hydration plan. Schedule one session or several. Contact me if you have questions so you, too can be like my client, JG:
