#dailymission I use a water belt for all my long runs over 8. I use a handheld for runs 5-8 miles. I don't like running thirsty. In races I use the water stations.

How do you carry your refuel during long runs?

#dailymission This is the main reason why I joined a running group, they set up water stations for me. Not only am I lazy, but that pound of a water bottle in my hand gets heavy after a while, it&#... read more

I'm a big fan of putting things in wax paper as well. My fingers don't work so well at mile 20 of anything.

In winter, I don't. Runs that are longer than 15 miles, I stash a water bottle, but usually only take a few sips. In summer, I ca... read more-
Some people think otherwise, though. This is too funny not to share: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=496666&page=0

Oh that's funny. I hope that guy wasn't serious. A fanny pack for a 5K?

Your approach is pretty similar to mine, though I use a hydration belt at >15 miles with Gatorade, and on humid days stash another bottle of Gatorade to find around 2 hours in.

I can't stop while I'm running or I won't continue running so I always carry my binkie (11oz handheld water bottle). I'm known for it now. Carry it all year on just about every run!

#dailymission Two words: water bottle. Just drink water folks, you don't need to pack a lunch for a long run.

I realized mid-run what a grave mistake I made. On my way back home I was thinking, oh crap I am the pot kettle black totally forgetting that low and behold there's a picture of me eating a monster breakfast, a friggin huge blue plate of every staple breakfast item, like I'm dining at Shoney's. I'm keeping it up there. I guess I was thinking in normal person world, long run i.e. less then 24 miles, no breakfast lunch or dinner.

Amy, it's a learned thing. The stronger you get and the more you train yourself not to rely on them the better you'll get at it. Plus I'm sure there's some individual variation and tolerance.

#dailymission when my foot lets me do long runs, I make water drops prior to run about every 3 miles, then I make a third boob w/ the other goodies in my bra. Works for me.

totally. You single handedly inspire me to run "unplugged" occasionally. And I have stopped bringing so much gu on runs. One an hour should do the trick if that. I don't use a water belt either. I think that would really way a runner down, huh?

#dailymission - I carry 2 x 5 dollar bills with my water belt, so that I can get something to eat and drink (chocolate milk usually) at a local grocery store, AND have a pit stop too :-)
