Hydration is of importance during hot runs, and it’s especially tricky for those in dry climates, like Madrid. When the temperature climbs and the air is dry, sweat evaporates so easily that you can easily dehydrate before you start feeling thirsty. Dehydration can lead to dizziness, cramps, fatigue, and heat stroke.
The necessary amount of fluid replacement is different for everyone, but as a starting point you should make sure you are well hydrated before your run. A rule of thumb is to drink about 15 to 20 oz. of water two hours before your run, and then 8 to 10 oz. more about 15 minutes before you head out.
