you used the correct word there .. SIP
between reps you can sip water
never gulp water
after the session re-hydrating is most beneficial
one of the best things a runner can do is to try avoid spitting out the saliva while running
you have it right on regards to the hydration bit
also take along with you something to eat to the equivalent of half a loaf of bread and try to eat it within the first hour after completing the session
you have a window of opportunity after long runs and the high quality sessions where carbohydrate intake straight after is beneficial
don't want to go into too much detail here but it is worth considering especially as you develop as an athlete
