hello, fellow myLotters..
i'm wondering how many of us here run regularly..
i'm thinking of getting serious with my running and i was hoping i could get some pointers on hydration.. my question is: how many liters do you consume: 1 week prior to a 10K run? 1 day pre-run?

I run almost all the time. Although I'm not quite sure how much water I drink the week before a 10K run. I just keep a full water bottle with me at all times, and sip on it. If i'm thirsty I drink more, and try to stay away from coffee, and soda which dehydrates your body.
I don't think there is reall a magic number because of different needs due to body weight, weather, etc, etc.
