It's like training my body to use less water...I feel stronger...less thirsty most of the time.
Wish I'd thought to encourage guys on other teams to try training their bodies to use less water back when I was racing. Marginal gains!
On the other hand, I remember coaches in the 1960s making their guys train on no water and horse-pill-sized salt tablets. Then Gatorade came along, and suddenly the same coaches were telling everyone to drink as much of it as possible.
