Preventing Dehydration during Over 50 Workouts
Planning for hydration during workouts for fitness over fifty is especially important because the body fails to correctly signal for fluids as you get older. Follow these guidelines: Drink 500 ml of water 2 hours before the workout or race. Start drinking water early into the workout to prevent dehydration rather than catch up with it. All fluids should be non-flavored and at room temperature. For workouts lasting more than an hour, drink carbohydrate drinks that provide you with up to 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour. Fluids should contain 0.5 grams of sodium per liter to make up for the loss through sweating.
