Hi all, do you take water with you on your run? I do and I'm sipping about every 5 minutes but I'm wondering if this is hindering my run. Though I don't think I could manage without water.

This post about hydration gives you my views and some science healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

If you are fully hydrated you should not need to carry water for any C25K workout.

I don’t, just make sure I drink a glass of water before leaving the house

I used to carry a small water bottle, but I found I run better empty handed as gripping that and it sloshing about didn’t help. Just have a drink before you go out and you won’t need to carry one. 👍🏃‍♀️

I'm running for more than 60 mins now and still don't carry water. As others say - drink a big glass of water before you set off.
