Question 2

Jane is participating in a half marathon. Provide recommendations for water intake before, during, and after the event to reduce risk of dehydration.

Accepted Answer

Before the half marathon, Jane should aim to drink about 17-20 ounces of water 2-3 hours before the race to ensure she is well-hydrated. During the event, she should drink about 7-10 ounces of water every 10-20 minutes to replace the fluids lost through sweat and prevent dehydration. After the race, it's important for Jane to continue hydrating by drinking at least 8 ounces of water within 30 minutes of finishing the race, and then continue to drink water regularly throughout the day to replenish any lost fluids. It's also important for Jane to listen to her body and drink more if she feels thirsty, as individual hydration needs can vary.
