A 1985 study by Armstrong, Costill, and Fink rather bluntly proves the effects of dehydration on running. Aside from the more obvious symptoms of mild dehydration such as headache and light-headedness, dry mouth, extreme thirst and confusion, the study showed that runners slowed nearly 80 seconds during a 5k and lost 2 minutes and 40 seconds over a 10k due to dehydration.
