About 17 degrees where I am in scotland although when running it feels like 27.

Absolutely love running in the sun although now I'm I'm running longer than I was this time last year I want to get something to carry water but don't want to hold it in my hand rather have it strapped to me . What have any of you bought?.

I still drink about 3 litres per day but could be doing with a drink on the run.

Happy running πŸŒžπŸŒžπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Fantastic sunny running buddy πŸ™‚β˜€οΈπŸ™‚ I opted for a carry bottle it's easy, it's there when you need itπŸ‘ listening to previous talk of water belts, all I know is you need one that takes generally two so you're balanced πŸ€“

Great going , well done Buddy πŸ‘

Tricky drinking on the move at the moment now that the pubs are closed 🀣

( sorry my kids would say that’s a dad joke and sigh )

Serious though, I’m thinking about getting a Flipbelt to hold a mobile phone and house key when I’m running, and I see on their website that they also sell small water bottles that also fit in to the belt.

I’ve not bought one yet, as I’m between sizes I’m going to wait until my local running shop re-opens so I can try on the different sizes.

Some others on this forum have recommended them and say they work well.

If you google Flipbelt you’ll see the info on their website.

As MartinKH has mentioned have you thought about a flip belt? They look really great. When I start doing runs so long I need a drink I think I will get one. You can get the bottles that go with it as well.

Happy running.

Great effort in the sun. Last year I tried running with various shaped bottles but found the sloshing very off-putting. In the heat just now I’ve been taking a long drink and half a banana on my way out the door and find that’s enough even up to 1hr 15min run, longer times have been on cooler days. Good luck and happy running πŸ€—

Tesco were selling a hydration rucksack thing last year and it had a straw that you sucked on. I saw a lady on my route wearing something like it. I think mine holds about 3 litres.

Something like this. I’m sure there’s other places to buy one from

Thanks πŸ‘

I struggle with the warmer weather but glad it suits you well! So great to look back at last year and see where you are now! I don't take any water on a run to be honest.

10k is normally fine as I drink about 3l water per day just today I noticed I could have liked some water😊

I’ve got two Nathan belts that hold water bottles. One belt holds 16 ozs of liquid and the other one has two smaller bottles (9ozs each). The two bottle belt is better as it doesn’t move and fits nicely into the lower back. Both belts have a little pocket for keys, snacks, tissues etc. In hot weather I will always take water with me for any run over 10K. I couldn’t carry anything in my hand so these work for me very well.

Have you tried a hydration vest Buddy? Mine was invaluable on my long runs last summer πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯΅πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯΅πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯΅πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I agree with you. I feel doubly as hot as everyone else out running, especially when I’m running along scorching, and seeing walkers seemingly dressed for the Arctic! πŸ˜…
