Description

Are you feeling more fatigued than usual? Do you have unexplained aches and pains? Struggling to do mileage that usually comes easy to you? Chances are, you are dehydrated and you don't know it.

Ultramarathon runner Dr Chauhan, who organises one of India's toughest marathons, La Ultra in Ladakh, tackles the tricky subject.
