You could fill a pint glass in just over 4 minutes(nearly as quickly as a perfectly poured pint of Guinness). Fook the hosepipe ban with you coming back, they can just stick you in a reservoir on a treadmill and all the farmers will be rejoicing:p

Edit: I've been there with excessive sweat loss replaced with too much water only. Hooked to an electrolyte drip in the back of an ambulance post race, twice. Cologne should cool right down a bit and humidity will drop by then too

Annie get your Run wrote: » I'm not surprised by that either having seen it too but I'm also a heavy sweater. It's a problem in this heat for sure. Start drinking coconut water (mixed with water sometimes, straight sometimes) throughout your day, every day. It has natural electrolytes in it and I promise, give it a bit of time and you'll start to notice a difference. Diorolyte (SP?) is good too but the coconut water is natural. Also try drinking a lucozade (original) mid run instead of plain water. Don't give up on your sub 3 goal just yet, if you let it go in your head now then you'll have no chance of achieving it. Stick with it - slowly slowly catchy monkey....
