(Distance athletes don't need no water ??! I'll bet he's got a
truckload of salt too!)
It's not need. It's the ability to find. And note
that amateur marathoners who take much longer
than the professionals - about 2.5 hours - to
run the full 26 miles are cautioned against drinking
too much water. AATers vastly overstate human
need for water.

Amateurs are cautioned against drinking too much *freshwater* (lacks
electrolytes found in seawater, coconuts, fruit), due to dilution of
essential salts etc., a dangerous condition for strenuous activity.
With poor olfaction, limited hearing and inability to see water
underground, humans can walk over underground springs without even
knowing, while elephants stop and dig. (Elephants dig up underground
water pipes.)
