Hydrating on the run is always important, especially when running in the heat. What do you use to carry fluids on the run? Would water bottles or hydration packs do you recommend to other runners? Why do you like it? Share Your Recommendation

fuel belt sprint palm holder

For short runs, I love using Fuel Belt's sprint palm holder. It only holds 10 ounces of fluid, but it is so lightweight and easy to hold. I actually have two of them, so I'll even carry one in each hand for longer runs. I really would prefer to do that rather than holding one big bottle.

fuel belt

I have a Fuel Belt Helium (with four bottles) that I use for my long runs. I find it very comfortable and I like that it has the pouch that I can use to carry my gels, money, and other things I might need during runs.

amphipod handheld

I don't like to run with a water bottle or belt, but when I'm forced to (long runs w/o water access), I like Amphipod's handheld. It's very easy to hold and has an adjustable strap so you don't have to tightly grip onto it. My hand doesn't get tired when holding it.
