How Can You Run Without Water?

ByTim Nolte
1 Comment

This morning as I did my intense interval training run the question hit me. How could there be many runners to come out of Africa when there is such a lack of easy access to water? Every morning I go out for a run I need to take water with me. I use that water plus try to stay hydrated throughout the day. In don’t know how I could manage my training runs with access to little or no water. When we have group runs, or you run in a race, there are water stations. In when the children in this photo need to go get water from the next village a few miles away, they don’t behave water stations along the way. Water for these children not only helps sustain them it radically changes there futures and the opportunities they have otherwise had without access to clean water.

    6 Miles For Clean Water And A New Fundraiser For 2020

    ByTim Nolte
    I expected to have a tough time during my training run given my tougher run the previous day, but things turned out really well. It just goes to show you that some days will be tough, yet some will be outstanding. With the new season of #HWI officially starting that also means a new fundraiser page. To kick things off I’ll be maching dollar-for-dollar the first $500 in donations. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2020HWI

    Back Running With The Hope Water Team

    ByTim Nolte
    I’m definitely well on the way to recovery. I enjoyed a nice Saturday group run with the #HWI Daybreak Team. Great conversations with Todd, Nate, and Josh. It was a nice change of pace to just get out there and run and have no agenda in regards to distance or any specific pace. I definitely took Ron’s advice today and just had fun. I’m also excited to see a bunch of guys taking the next step and moving from their half marathon last year to a full this year. I think it might have pushed me into the decision to do another full marathon this year. I feel like having completed 3 marathons I can share my own experience to help others succeed in finishing…

    Sloshing Through A Wet Tuesday Long Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Even though it had snowed the night before, it was a pretty wet run. When I got done my socks were soaked. One aspect of the slush that I don’t enjoy, besides the wet feet, is the buildup of ice that happens in my cleats and having to run with ice balls stuck to your feet. On the bright side it encouraged me to slow down. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

    How Often Do We Use Water?

    ByTim Nolte
    In the U.S. pretty much everyone has running water where they live. How much water do we use in a day? Showers, meals, washing dishes and clothes, using the bathroom, watering the flowers/garden/lawn, making coffee/tea/other drinks. What if you had to walk 2-5 miles to get a jug of water, maybe even river or pond water? Can you imagine what it would be like to have clean, drinkable, water just down the block? While we might still consider having to go even a block to get more water and inconvenience, think about the life change close access to clean water actually makes in the lives of those that don’t have it. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Give The Gift of Access to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr
