When the weather is hot and humid, do you drink differently when you work out? Differently as in do you eat or drink something different during your workout?
I recently spent time in hospital after collapsing from heatstroke a couple of weeks ago.
I was taken to hospital and given fairly intensive treatment many hours to bring my temperature back down from 104 degrees. I had stopped sweating so my body was apparantly literally cooking.
Anyway, the ER doc (who is an avid cyclist) suggested that I take a mix of water and gatorade on future rides and that I also take along an extra bottle which is frozen overnight.
I have not had any problems since, although I did take a week off cycling at his recommendation after I was released from hospital.
