I drink anywhere between 3L and 4L of water everyday, is this too much ?

Is it causing you problems like side stirches, cramps, or stiff
muscles? If so then it's too much, if you are having no problems then
it isn't too much. If I drank that much water I'd explode, or [censored]
myself to death, but I don't need a lot as a rule. If it works for you
then don't mess with it.

Tables schmables. Aren't those tables more or less for the general

Yes.

Since I run and I want to run the fastest marathon time that
I can, I should be well below any normal table.

But the low range is about 8%. To go lower hard work and needs nutrition

Is there a table out

Operative word is elites. Frankly, I think these speed demons are built
that way from birth. It's not like they were 200+ lost some weight and
turned elite. I once got down to about 165 and was recruited an
anorexia ad. I found my 6" frame works best 172-177.

protien bar of some kind.

I kill two turds with one peice of toilet paper by using SUCCEED!CLIP.
It has carbs, protein and fats in one drink. It also has zero salt so I

Any thoughts as to why Slim-Fast doesn't cause problems - the other
cations or the milk buffering or ...?

No idea but keep in mind that I drink one can every three hours plus the
aid stations fare. It seems to keep my cauldron under control.

recovery drink compared with the fruity sports drinks that I'd been
drinking.

My first choice is beer, second Slimfast, milk third. If my stomach is
testy a Coke works well for me.

Sounds good. But that's 117 calories. It will go right to my thighs. Do I
need therapy?
