    A fluid strategy is important not only for performance but also for safety
    and enjoyment. Without a good fluid plan you won't be able to make the most
    of your training. A common theme coming out of the round Taupo ride was
    people running out of fluid late in the ride. Not wanting to lose contact
    with their bunch, riders wouldn't stop to grab needed water.

    How much fluid do you need?
    Everyone is different, if you live in a cold climate and are going to race
    in a warmer one then not doubt you will need to drink more than usual. If
    you practice drinking good amounts of fluids you will be able to drink more
    in events as well. Your body will adapt to what you show it. Below is a
    general guide to give you a ball park figure.

    No way Spammer!

    I can't even visit the page you want us to review without paying money.

    Take a long walk off a short plank.

    LARTs will fly next time!

    You might like to actually try the page - which is free to access along with
    the rest of the site, this particular article just requires you to register,
    but lots dont even require that.

    One day the site will have premium content (we all have to make a living)
    but no one is forcing you to part with your hard earned, the choice is
    yours, and if you are a cyclist that might benefit from reading some
    "training opinions" because that is basically what every Coach will give
    you, then have a look at the site. If you think the article is rubbish then
    make your point in the forums, if you are not interested then dont.
    regards
    Richard.

    The high sodium content of spam will increase your fluid requirement.
    Its fat content might not be good for an endurance athlete.

    You don't need a fecking website to tell you how much to drink; you
    simply have to drink enough. (Not too much, not too little, just enough,
    right?)

    Even somebody the same weight and fitness will have rather different
    rates of sweating.

    You should also consider the following:

    Carbohydrate intake
    Sodium intake
    Fat intake
    Potassium intake
    Other minerals like calcium & magnesium.
    Avoing heat stress
    Recovery, fatigue, training, rest, overtraining.

    Much is learned from experience: you own and other people who ride
    similar events to you. Listen to them and pass on your experiences to
    others.

    Helen.
    you are quite right, i posted about a couple of articles on PB and had
    thought they were free to view ones (they are all free but basic membership
    requires registration - where your email address will never be sold) - i
    have now made that article "free" so the link will take you to it. As you do
    appear to know your stuff I look forward to your comments about the article
    and any others - it would be even better if they were on the PB forums so
    the author can view your comments too.
    Regards
    Richard
