Buy a smart scale that will show you body water percentage in addition to body fat, body mass in index, etc. You can monitor body water percentage daily to ensure you are properly hydrated.

As I get older, now 52, I have more and more difficulty staying ahead of the hydration issue. I sweat out more than I can ingest during my longer runs. On my last 16 mile run, I went through a gallon of fluids and still cramped up and had to walk at mm 13. It was a breezy semi-humid morning.

Any recommendations?
