Skechers Performance GOelite athlete Patrick Rizzo says hydration is extremely important.

Staying hydrated during the day is just as important as staying hydrated when you run (almost more important). Try to drink 8, 8 oz. glasses during the day.

It’s also very important to hydrate after a work-out. The hotter the weather and the harder you work-out the more water you need.
