    Believe that if you like. The truth is far more mundane: I told a friend about my cramp issues, he recommended Zero tabs, I tried them and they solved my issue. I've not actually read any of the marketing material. I don't know why they work and, to be honest, I don't really care. As for thinking for myself, I've spent all day every day in the last 9 years keeping scientists and marketeers in check - I've seen most of the tricks. I've also seen the individual scientists who think they know better. I'm paid to think for myself and maintain my independence. I'm sorry if you don't like that.

    I don't get this 'easy prey' malarky.

    A high 5 tablet is about 20p. When compared to the general soft drink market is incredibly cheap.

    Cheap alternative.

    My training has suffered this last week or so due to feeling very dehydrated during my morning training, to the point where I have had to stop due to headaches.

    I train most mornings either at the gym, in the pool or on the bike for up to an hour. I have time for a quick bowl of cereal and a glass (half pint) of water with a Berroca in it before I start (followed by half hour drive to training).

    If I drink lots the night before I am up a couple of times in the night to use the loo and just feel knackered the next day.

    Any advice how I can improve upon this current situation. I am drinking squash or High5 Zero as I train in the morning.

    I am mid 20's, good level of fitness, no special diet. I also train for 1-2 hours 3-4 evenings a week.

    PerformingMonkey,

    You might like to read the following as well:

    There's lots of interesting information in there about hydration and although directed primarily at runners, it's applicable to all endurance sports.
