AM-Easy 6.5 miles on 7th east. No watch.

PM-Easy-medium 6 miles on the mill with a pickup in pace at mile 4 of the run. 6:15-6:30/mile. Easy miles at 7-8/min pace. Feeling much better this evening by the way. Some guy next to me asked me why don't I hydrate during the run. I replied; it's only 6 miles. I do hydrate before and I usually only hydrate after 10... He didn't really seem interested in talking after that so perhaps he was just being smug. I don't know and whatever I guess.. But the more I thought about it I came to the conclusion that even so it probably would be a good idea to hydrate even during short runs I suppose. Just never thought it was really that necessary. Does any one else do this on a regular basis?

B-A bag of Friday's potato skins. Not good.. L-Very busy so I skipped. Double bad..

I typically don't drink anything unless the run is more than 15 miles. That being said, I don't know whether it is a good idea or not. I can see benefits to hydrating sometimes and not hydrating others - good to get the body used to drinking during races, but also good for the body to work under dehydrated conditions.

You should have told the guy that you don't hydrate because you're not a girly-man. And you say it like Arnold.

LOL!

This is the last time I use lol by the way since from what I understand supposedly it isn't cool to do so any more.

A fit healthy runner does not need to hydrate or refuel for runs that are shorter than 20 miles in temperatures lower than 70F. In fact, this leads me to a thought - is it possible that the runners that do need to either hydrate or refuel during their runs are going longer than what is good for them in their current shape?

Or faster also.. In fact that is exactly what I see at the gym a lot. People run so much harder than they need to. In fact I've had a couple of guys get on next to me and literally run their guts out trying to keep up with me. I just keep going at my own speed and try not to fuel the fire. I've learned the hard way over the years not to race workouts:)
