I hope you can talk to him about your concerns and/or get help from your ND.<BR/><BR/>And, yes, e-caps (or some other extra electrolyte source) is a great tip when running on hot days. And although it may not be pleasant, just running in the heat whenever you have the opportunity can help too. Your sweat rate and sweat composition changes as you become acclimated to it. Both should help.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.com
