Since I know of one of the young moms who died during a marathon, adding here that the problem of over-hydration in sports is serious. Why Dr Noakes wrote the book Waterlogged

Dr Noakes on Hyponatremia:

So what hydration advice would you give to people running their first recreational marathon?
That’s a great question, because it wouldn’t be any different from the advice that I’d give to anyone else. It’s listen to your body, and your body will tell you. It’s very important to make this point. There’s now evidence to suggest that if you drink ahead of thirst, that if you drink ahead of the signs, your performance will be impaired, just as it will be impaired if you drink less than you should at thirst. Thirst is your body trying to tell you, Listen, I need fluid.
