Myth: Pure water is best for hydration. Truth: Although water is a great way to hydrate, it may not be the best choice in all situations. For an easy, hour-long run on a coolish day, sipping water is fine. But if youre running 15km on a December morning and are a salty sweater (you have white salt streaks on your face or clothes postrun), you need to ingest some sodium as well. Salt helps you retain water, says Yeargin. Youre less likely to pee it out. A sports drink, such as Gatorade, and water enhanced with electrolytes, although full of sugar, so make your own sports drinks. Theres no way to preload with sodium to negate sodium loss @therunnersworld
