Sweat Rate Test
Pre Run: Record body weight completely naked, and record weight of any food and fluid being consumed on the run.
Post Run: Strip naked, towel off moisture, record body weight and weight of remaining food and fluid. Subtract end food and fluid weight from start food and fluid weight. Keep that number. Subtract end body weight from start body weight and add that to the kept number. Divide that total by the number of minutes the run was, then times the result by 60. This is approximate sweat rate in litres per hour.
