Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by

Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 69.

Before we get into today's questions, big thanks to our sponsors, Precisionhydration,

that you can find on precision hydration.com.

Precision hydration have a blog post about how you can test your individual sweat rate,

meaning how much sweat do you lose per hour of exercise.

And that can be done at different intensities and different environmental conditions to get different numbers depending on

what those conditions are and what that intensity is. To give you an idea of how much the

sweat rate of individuals can vary, a 2017 review paper by Lindsay Baker examined the sweat rate

in a total of 500 athletes and the range of sweat rates in

the data was about half a liter per hour to just over 2.5 liters per hour so a fivefold

increase and there were even a few major major outliers at about four or between 46 liters per hour, which is pretty extreme.

But one to 1.5 liters per hour could be considered a normal or moderate sweat rate.

And that is something that you can benchmark your numbers too. But again, there is a big range.

So this does not mean that just because

that was the average or the normal, that that is what's going to be the case for you.

So I will link in the show notes to the article that precision hydration have on how to measure

your sweat rate to improve your hydration strategy. Check that out and you can use some of your

winter training indoors on

the trainer, for example, to refine that strategy. And if you want to try out their precision
