Stories for the Runners: EP. 05 — The Science of Hydration and Running Gear
Staying hydrated during a run is more than a comfort — it’s a science-backed necessity. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or preparing for an ultra-marathon, your body’s performance depends on how well you manage hydration and gear. Let’s dive into why hydration matters and how the INOXTO Hydration Backpack is designed to keep you at your best.
Why Hydration Matters
🏃♂️ Boosts Performance: Dehydration can reduce endurance and increase fatigue. Even a 2% drop in hydration levels can impact your performance, leading to slower times and increased risk of cramps.
🏃♀️ Supports Recovery: Staying hydrated helps your body regulate temperature and transport nutrients, which speeds up post-run recovery and reduces muscle soreness.
💧 Regulates Body Temperature: Proper hydration prevents overheating by enabling your body to sweat efficiently, maintaining a stable core temperature.
