Sweating is necessary in order to cool the body, among other things, but it can also cause water, electrolyte, and vitamin loss. Knowing your sweat rate (the amount you sweat per hour) is a helpful tool to help you manage your hydration levels and performance, whether you are racing or not. In this episode, I explain how you can calculate your sweat rate, as well as what you do with the data.

Check this link to see one of the ways I learned how to calculate sweat rate, from Asker Jeukendrup on mysportscience.com: https://www.mysportscience.com/post/2017/07/14/how-much-do-you-sweat
