Last week I had a race on Sunday and was out in the pub on Saturday night. Of course, I wasn't drinking due to the fact I was competing the next day.

During the course of the evening I had around 4 pints of water so I was well hydrated come the morning and I have to say I felt great! This is now part of my pre-race ritual!

My water intake does not change the day before a race. Generally I try to drink 2 litres a day - taken little and often.

Had some good runs when hungover - not that I'm recommending it!

 

[Don Minquez]

Me too! the trouble with drinking so much the night before is that your body will have processed it by the time you race, surely? You'll be peeing for Britain!

 

[Gumps]

I guess it depends on how hydrated yu normally are? If you are good normally there is no real need to drink gallons before a race.

I'd actually switch to sports drinks the day before rather than water.

i usually get through at least 3 litres a day. try sticking a big plastic bottle in your bag, & keep filling it up!

What bag? We is mens! We has pockets for keys and coins and stuff, but not to carry giant 3l water bottles!
