a nice rule is every 20min two sips of water. i personally do every 30min and two sips/gulps of water for long runs (10miles). its a nice way to count down the long run.

I would have been okay if I hadn't taken the gel...I've never craved water so badly. Won't make that mistake again. haha.

what the heck do guys do with your water when you run? I hate stopping and for sure dont want to carry anything with me, so i just go without water, even on runs 15+ miles. I will carry a gel when i plan on running like over an hour and a half, but then alot of times i end up not using it.

+1. I would peruse gels and water in a race because it's free or in a REALLY long run (a half or longer) because it seems necessary, but two sips of water every 20 minutes? Damn.

Running is good excercise. Health improves by running.
Making your body fit and in shape you should run atleast 3 km.

I use one of the bottles that attach to your hand. You have to just train yourself to carry it. Some also use the belts. Mine has a pocket for gel, Im going to try S! caps, they are compact!

I'd run naked if it were legal. I don't know how you guys run with bottles strapped to your hands and salt tablets in your pockets and stuff. Isn't that incredibly bothersome?

At first I was hesitant to run with a water bottle, tried running with a belt that I hated , but then I found this bottle from Nathan that I rather like for mid length runs (10-15 miles) and this for longer runs (15+) miles.

I also carry a GU or 2 with me for during the run as well. After a couple of runs you don't even realize you're carrrying water/ GU.

i plan my runs in a loop where i have to loop around at least twice. from there i find a place where i can stash my bottle, under my car (if im at a park), behind a gravestone, tied to a tree branch ect. I make sure its a cheapo plastic 1liter bottle (like a arrowhead or poland spring).

even in central park no one will steal the water, and the park guys will know its a runner's bottle an leave it be.

Lately, pretty well every run comes by my house every few miles, so I'm always able to pop in. Even when I go somewhere, I try to route myself to be near the car every so often.

That said, I only consider gels for anything 12 miles and up.

oh: 6.7 miles, 52:08 today.

On long runs (over 12 miles) or when it is hot out, I use a Nathan belt with an 18 ounce water bottle. I take honey stinger gels and one salt stick every 8 miles. I'm going to give one of those handhelds a try.

Last night: 3.40 mile interval run.

Getting back into the swing of things now that warm weather is here.
I love running shirtless
