genesis of this condition remains incompletely understood but largely depends on excessive water intake. Furthermore, hormonal (especially abnormalities in arginine vasopressin secretion) and renal abnormalities in water handling that predispose individuals to the development of severe, life-threatening hyponatremia may be present. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and therapy of exercise-associated hyponatremia....

relik, at 1 to 1.5 liters of water for every 2.5# loss in weight, you are not going to experience hyponatremia, especially if electrolytes and sodium are not restrcited. Lyle's recommendations were not that one drink all that fluid during or immediately after the exercise either, but rather gradually throughout the rest of the day proceding the workout. The subjects in the studies you provided are drinking WAY more than that recommended by Lyle. In fact, Lyle's objective is to "replace" fluids and electrolytes, while the marathon runners are drinking so much they are actually gaining weight during their event.Comment
