Measure your workout

Replace the sample session with yours.

Weigh on the same scale in similar dry clothing. Log only the fluids consumed between your two weigh-ins.

Estimated session sweat rate

Session length

Session estimate only. This is not an hourly drinking target.

How the estimate works

Estimated sweat loss (litres) = weight before (kg) − weight after (kg) + drinks (litres) − urine (litres). Divide by workout hours for litres per hour.

Use the same scale, similar minimal dry clothing, and towel off before the second reading. Record fluids consumed between the two weigh-ins. Repeat on separate days: weather, effort and clothing change the result.

This measures a session; it does not prescribe how much to drink. Do not force fluids to match the result. Drinking too much can be harmful. Get individual advice for prolonged events or medical fluid restrictions.

Good to know

Sweat loss changes with heat, humidity, pace, clothing and measurement error. Compare similar sessions and treat a single result as an estimate.
