Luckily it didn't happen during a race, but I had a lot of passing out issues during training (still got the knee scrapes...). Part of it was because I was stubborn and wouldn't slow down, but also I was generally dehydrated/electrolytes out of whack before I even started the run.<br /><br />I drink something similar to Nuun religiously and it's helped a lot. Personally I can't choke down any Nuun flavours (they all make me feel really sick) so I use these: http://highfive.co.uk/product/hydrate/zero<br /><br />I love the grapefruit flavour :)<br /><br />xxxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.com
