I'm kinda concerned that this article mentions nothing about replenishing salt/electrolytes. Overhydration in the heat and forcing all the sodium out of your body via sweat can kill you too. Happened to a girl in Ottawa some years back.

I always have one of my 500ml bladders with a salty sweet water mix and the other just pure water. Salty snacks along the way help too.

Don't run in the heat with nothing but water.
