apparentparadoxApparently a study in today's New England Journal of Medicine (as reported on KCBS radio) found that drinking too much water can cause serious problems -- even death in athletes.
The thing to do is to regularly weigh yourself before and after training sessions, and if you weigh more after the session, then you're drinking too much water & should cut down next time. Do this regularly and figure out how much water your body needs.
As one of the people being interviewed on the radio said: Nobody has ever died of dehydration in an endurance event, but people have died of over-hydration.
