I'm going for a run later and I'm worried I might get dehydrated. How much water should I drink before I start?<|im_end|>

It's great that you're thinking about hydration. Aim to drink at least 16-20 ounces of water about an hour before your run. This will help your body get the fluids it needs.<|im_end|>

That's really helpful, thanks. What are some signs that I might be getting dehydrated during my run?<|im_end|>

Keep an eye out for headaches, dizziness, and dark-colored urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop and drink some water. It's also a good idea to drink water or a sports drink every 20-30 minutes during your run to stay hydrated.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. I'll make sure to drink plenty of water before and during my run.<|im_end|>
