HOT today

Just done a 45 mile round trip, really quite slowly at about 14.3mph ave. I drank over 3 litres of
fluids & am still thirsty. Polar HRM said temp varied between 90F & 101F !!!

Global warming or what.

=============
If you're drinking that much in about 3 hours you could be putting yourself in danger. There was
something in the news recently about excessive fluid intake. Apparently it can damage the body's
electrolyte or salt levels and is almost as bad as a drinking binge on alcoholic drinks. Perhaps
somebody can add more detail as this could be a serious problem for many people in this hot weather.
I certainly never drank 3 litres during any marathons even in the hottest weather.

A good way to re-hydrate after your exercise is to eat plenty of vegetables rather than just
drinking liquids.

Yes, but weighing myself before & after, there was still a difference (lighter), which is just down
to fluid loss. I've had cracking headaches before when I've drunk less. I read somewhere that 1 L
per hour is minimal for this sort of weather.

Anyway, chilli's in the uWave & beer's in the fridge, time to chill in front of the TV. (veg out
mode assumed).

Quote from reputable sports journal(the telegraph 🙂

telegraph.co.ukmain.jhtmlOpen ↗ xml=/health/2003/06/04/hwat04.xml " So how much is it
safe to sip? "Aim to consume about a quarter of a pint of fluid for every hour of exercise, which
won't replace everything you lose through sweat, but will maintain a healthy fluid balance," advises
Tunstall-Pedoe. "More than that is not really advisable, unless it is very hot.''

For a simple way to ensure your fluid balance is healthy, the new guidelines suggest weighing
yourself before and after exercise. Sutton agrees: "Any weight loss is not fat but fluid and you
need to put it back.

For every pound you lose after exercise, you should drink two medium glasses of water to replace it.

Well, I would normally lose about 6 to 8 pounds during an 18 mile training run and I would never
have been able to drink the 12 to 16 glasses of water required by the above formula. I'm not alone
in these weight loss figures so there must be more to it than simple fluid intake.

<pedantry> I think you have the wrong environmental hazard. It's *greenhouse gases* that are
supposed to be responsible for global warming, not ozone layer depletion. </pedantry>

I'm looking for a new HRM. Which Polar HRM give temperature readings?

Thanks

Trouble is, is the torygraphs idea of exercise mowing the lawn (for which 1/4 pt per hour might be
about right), or three hours hard riding? I think had I done 3 hours riding today (actually I only
did one hour on a bouncy castle) I'm confident that drinking less than a pint would have left me
badly dehydrated.

No real take home message to all this though. What I read from it is that in the old days
(apparently) people were told NOT to drink when exercising. Then it was decided that you
should drink as much as you can. Now it is decided you should drink as much as you need.(and
take some salt)

All sounds a bit of a non issue to me, I watched the end of the Edinburgh marathon this year and NO
ONE drowned in there own lung fluid!

Very very hot out today.

Did a quick cycle to Hyde Park, read a couple of books, then went to Oxford Street to pick up
a few DVDs.

My God was the cycle home hell. It's only a few miles, but the sun was on my face all the way, moo.

Eventually got home, drank a load of water, sat down, sweated profusely, got a couple of pints of
milk to down, started to feel much better.

Strange, though - on the ride home after the daily commute, I normally prefer a couple of pints of
milk to water... and yet have noticebly lost weight. Moooooo!

good news ... part of my reason to do the commute run is for weight purposes ... a 30 mile round
trip aiming for 3 or 4 days per week with a decent sunday ride thrown in too

bikes broke at the moment though on my first ever ride from work so it didnt start off too well ..
hope it works a little better when its back!

Heh, well, it's taken a couple of visits to the local bike vets to sort out my cheapo mountain bike,
but so far it appears to be doing the job quite well. When I remember to stick the lights on.

However, my round trip's a shade under ten miles. Main reason for getting into cycling was buying a
load of thirty-inch jeans that I couldn't get into... and that's always been my size... Slowly, the
beer gut's coming away...

What. Just wait for Sunday's temperatures. The forecast is suggesting a
50/50 chance of the highest temperature ever recorded here. I have filled the fridge with water and
juice. Now all I have to do is try and get some sleep.

I do believe it was reporting the air temp., hoefully not my heart temp.! (The watch bit was
strapped to handlebars).
