Just wondering what you people slake your thirst with when you are training?
For a more comprehensive result, please advise what your intake is over how long a training session.
I tend to have a litre and a half tap water with 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 (English) teaspoon of salt during an average 2 hour, 4-4.5Km session.

About a liter of water per hour of training.
I don't like to take sugared or calore-drinks during a workout.
I kind of prefer to use up the glycogen and get into a fat burning mode sooner rather than later.
I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works, but I believe that sipping sugared drinks, your body will try to use up the sugar first.
I'll have them, or some "goo" with water during day-long meets, to keep my energy levels up... probably about 100 calories worth every couple of hours or so. I bring 4x1-liter bottles to a day long meet, and usually drink most of it.
