I've also heard that plain water is better if you can stand the taste. This
of course depends on where you filled up your water bottle. I don't usually
like the taste of plain water, so I go with Koolaid which satifies my sweet
tooth. I can't vouch for whether the extra sugar improves my performance
any, but I do know I'm happier. It's also a lot cheaper than Gatorade and
easier and lighter to pack.
