I've been wondering about this for a while. Anyone have a good rule of thumb? I don't want to overdo it, but also don't want to bonk.
I aim to drink 16-20 oz of water about an hour before my morning runs. It's a good balance for me to stay hydrated without feeling too full. Also, make sure to pee before you head out, that's a good indicator you're hydrated enough!
16-20 oz sounds like a good starting point. And lol, peeing before heading out is a great tip. Nothing worse than having to stop mid-run to find a bush.
