How to use long-distance running water bag in summer?

Three Ways to Monitor Drinking Water

Thirsty

Thirst is the body's hydration signal. Please do not use thirst as a reference standard for water recharging. Since you feel thirsty, you obviously need to drink water quickly.

Two urine

The color of urine is between clear or light colors, which is a sign of proper drinking water. Long-term, high-intensity exercise can lead to a decrease in urine output and urination. Therefore, it is normal that there is no urine for 6-8 hours in Super horse racing.

Three body weight

It is also effective to determine the body's water shortage by measuring body weight changes. Some hundred-mile events in foreign countries have weight scales. When the weight of a player decreases by more than a certain standard, he will be forced to retire. If conditions permit, we can detect changes in body weight during daily training and use this change to determine the condition of water shortage.

Self-supply of drinking water

In cross-country races, it is necessary to carry a certain amount of supplies to meet the needs of the occasion. There are currently about 4 ways to carry drinking water:

Hand-held kettle

As the name implies, it should be held by hand, so the general volume will not be too large and will not exceed the volume of a bottle of mineral water. Most of the common cylindrical kettles belong to this category, some of them can be tied to the hand with the magic buckle, DIY people also have their own tied with a stretch rope cross.

The disadvantage is that the skin is not wearable and can only be used for a few months to a year.

Water bottle pocket

Need a special waist pack tied to the waist, the kettle is generally in pairs, left and right side plug, or vertical plug.

The advantage of the waist pack type is that it is convenient to use, and two or more kettles can be used separately for drinking water and functional drinks.

The disadvantages are: the up and down shaking will be larger, and the smaller volume cannot store too much water.

Backpack bag

Some backpacks have left and right two vertical canister pouches on the chest, and the used kettle usually has a straw that is five to ten centimeters long for drinking while running.

Water bag backpack

If you often need to go for an hour or two of road or cross-country training, you should consider buying a professional water bag backpack. The water bag has a built-in bladder that looks like a backpack. A long drinking tube is exposed and leads to the front.

Before the competition, please determine which equipment is more suitable for you. So as not to affect the mood and performance of the game.

Tips for drinking while running

The skills for drinking water during the game are as follows:

A small amount of time. Keep water intake steady and avoid excessive drinking at one time.

Do not drink water when climbing short distances or steep slopes. There will be danger of getting it.

Do not drink too much before going uphill or downhill. The body needs more energy to dispose of the water it drinks.

Do not drink water unless you are only 10-15 minutes away from the next supply station.

If sufficient water can be supplied to the replenishment station, less water can be used to reduce the weight when leaving the station.
