The Ultimate Hydration Pack Guide!

Do you run with a hydration vest and what are your tips? 👇

Does anyone know which vest is used in the video?

Just got my first water vest to stay hydrated while running long distance 🙌🏿

Thanks Heather very helpful . Only looking to do shortish runs on Dartmoor but when out on the hills in inclement weather reckon I need 10 litres of space for kit.

My module gel, is basically - a 2nd wind - booster -- bridges for. Below- half 90deg - les than, solar plex!
But ist plex!

/f(x)= hlf mast 90deg u d(x)= hlf triple matrix 2Hn 72deg F gel packr surrounded by: seltzer water i.e. pop rock candy solute //+ 1 mol(6)*72deg F Int= 2Hn 90deg u cold fusion(fusx - fisn) harden - loosen ABV matrixes (primed defaults) //map difusz - by surround - inner hub //patterned > conditioned primes(indexes) /

Thanks! Very helpful for long runs. Hope you can revisit Hydration Pack for the biking portion in a Triathlon such as a Full IM or Half IM. Hydration Packs are not as common in these races but an option and I am curious what the considerations might be.

I us one only on Long trail runs; 13.1 miles or further.

Great overview, with these types of videos would appreciate specific brand comparisons and/or recommendations

Enjoy seeing the options. Thank you. I use an Osprey Duro 6, wonderful because Osprey is a dedicated backpack maker. Tip: If using a bladder and struggling with cleaning it (blowing it out, putting a fan on its, brushing it, etc), the easy tip is to simply fill it with water after your workout and store it back in the fridge. No molding! Been a while and want fresh water for tomorrow's run, the night before simply drain it out, add fresh water, back in the fridge. 💧

If you are using a bladder hydration system...and you are in a hot climate... INSULATED TUBING is essential. Otherwise you get boiling water for the first sip each time 🤣

Perfect timing for this video!!! Thanks GTN

It's like you know what I need for my next event 🤯🤯🤯

Literally perfect timing as mine is crapping out and needing to be replaced!

Im looking for one of these right now. Do you use a women’s specific one? The problem I’m having is that shops here are limited so it’s a case of ordering online and I don’t know how to chose for fit being female but tall (if that’s relevant). I used a flip belt for my (first ever) half marathon (yay) at the w.e. and found a massive burn/rash on my tummy afterwards so want to use a backpack/vest next time which is full marathon so would want to carry water. Hmm. Love these videos. Don’t know how I’d start choosing anything without them!

Great video on a great channel (as usual). Here is one more point to consider: if you are going to run a long ultra marathon, you will definitely need to put some required gear in the back of the running vest. In this case, using a water blade, which is also located in the back, is very inconvenient and the only option is to have water flasks on the front side. This will also make the weight of the running vest with all the gear, water and food more balanced between your front and back.

I love your channel!

Hey folks, great video! I was a marathon runner for ~6 years but took 2 years off due to life. Slacked on my exercise entirely (I was completely out of shape and a couch potato before the stint of running though I am not overweight) and am now trying to get back in (painful slog as I can barely run a mile at my old marathon pace now). I remember back when I did run, I used to have a belt with 4 bottles because I didn't like the feeling of something on my back. However, I also remember that I would usually bonk at around miles 16-20 (gels and liquid stop working, would just get really hungry) depending on the race and then be forced to walk most of the last 10k or so. My finishes were usually around the 4.5-5 hr mark to give you an idea of when the bonk hits time-wise.

So my questions are really:

1) What would you recommend I bring on a race to avoid this?

2) Is there a better hydration solution for me than the belt (which I liked wearing and didn't notice on me when running) that might avoid the "feeling a lot of weight on my back" problem?

3) Any advice on how to overcome the feeling of failure trying to get back up to my old running? Been trying to start with interval training on my HIIT machine to start up a base but perhaps there's a better way.

Thanks!
