When i run on the treadmill i sweat a lot.is it better to hydrate w electrolyte drink like a bottle of pedialyte unsweetened rather than plain water?

Depends.....: That would depend upon the distance you run, duration and intensity of the workout. Anything longer than 30 minutes or moderately intense would probably benefit from an electrolyte solution. Otherwise, water would be your go yo fluid
