Hydration Options for Runners

When you start to run a bit further, you may wish to consider taking a watter bottle or another hydration option with you on the run.

You may want to take water, or a sports drink or even, for even longer runs, some nutrition like energy gels or small bits of powerfood.

When looking for hydration / nutrition options you may wish to consider whether you wish to carry a bottle in your hands or not and how many bottles you think you'll need.

From the articles reviewed below the fuel belts are my preferred option, especially the four-bottle one. It allows you to distribute the weight quite evenly and as such allows you to carry enough with you without it ever getting really inconvenient.

RRS Speed 4 Energy Belt

The RoadRunnerSports Speed 4 Energy belt holds four 10-ounce nutrition/hydration flasks. When you need to go a little bit further, the lightweight Speed 4 Energy Belt comes to the rescue. There are some pockets in the belt to hold valuables as well.

Camelbak .75 Litre Bottle w/Bite Valve Hydration Bottle

The Camelbak .75L bottle has got a new bite valve which contains an inner straw. This makes it pretty much impossible to spill your drink on the run. It has an easy-carry handle, is dishwasher safe, and made with taste-free plastic.
