Scientific Research
Today:
Purpose: Sweat rate calculation
Distance: 12.3 km
Time: 69' 08"
Rate: 5' 37" per km
Weather: very warm, nice, temp 26-29 degrees, humidity 50%, wind light NW 10 kmph
Week: 90.00 km, Dec: 376.9 km, Year: 4505.05 km
An amateur science experiment this morning after reading 2 articles in the latest UltraMag on sweat rates & hydration.
I've never really bothered by the science of running. I just go out to enjoy the training. Much more like the training than the purpose of the training, the race itself. The journey, not the destination.
I weighed myself before I ran this morning in warm conditions, didn't drink on the run although I could have if needed, and then weighed myself at the finish.
I lost 2.5 kgs in just over the hour, or 4.3 % of my body weight. A compensation during the run to Pine Is and back was I stopped for 5 minutes to cool off in the river. Very nice.
A good solid run without pushing the pace in the conditions.
