Research indicates that failing to consume adequate nutrients after a long run can significantly hamper muscle recovery and increase the risk of injury. During intense or long-duration exercise, your body burns through its stored energy, creating a crucial 'anabolic window' post-workout that demands timely and sufficient replenishment for optimal results.

According to a study published in the *New England Journal of Medicine*, 13% of Boston Marathon runners developed hyponatremia. This potentially fatal condition is often caused by drinking too much water before or during a run, making it critical to understand why drinking too much water before a run is bad and how to get your hydration right.
