Hydration Vests
Do any of you run with hydration vests?? I currently run with a 20 oz hand held a 2 10oz bottles on a belt. I run with those when I am going to run 6-8 miles. I am running out when I hit about 7 miles. My milage starts increasing to 10 miles this week. I am running in the South (Memphis) and at 530am its usually about 90% humitiday and 80 degrees. It is going to be like this for another month, at least. I am running in neighborhoods with no parks or stores to refill my water bottles. I could run back to the house and refill, but I am worried I will not get back out there. I was looking at the hydration vests and they hold about 70 oz but weigh about 6lbs when full. That seems like a lot of weight, but if well placed I would think it would be doable. Any thoughts, suggestions????

I tried on one of the camel back things - there's no way I could run with that thing! I'm amused by all these hydration belts that are so bulky yet only allow you to carry 20oz of water - what's the point :-p
For the hand held one - the one I bought - it came with a 20 oz bottle, but they sold a bigger bottle that will fit in the same holder so maybe you can look to see if you can get i think it might have been a 28-30oz bottle. I don't know how much it will help but I'd say just work with what you have and make sure you hydrate well before/after your long run.

I have run and ridden with a Camelback and it works OK, the only problem I had with it was that it creates a hot spot on your back. Having that extra bulk and insulation on your back really heats that spot up.
What I like to do is put the Camelback on my son who rides his bike with me when I run.
Since the distances are not that great, it doesn't seem like much of an issue for him. I get someone to talk with and encourage me, plus I have plenty to drink for the longer runs.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
I love this idea :) I just need to borrow a kid...

I think my son would boycott. He has football from 7-12 and basketball from 12-330. I can just see his face when I ask him to come bike 4 -9 miles with Mom!!! LOL Thanks for the feedback. I figured the packs would get hot. I guess I wills stick with what I have and run back to the house if I need more water. I think I will just leave it outside so I dont have to go into the house. My house is my "finish line" in my mind so thats is going wierd to run home and leave.

I have ran ULTRAS of 50 Miles to 100 miles with a Camelbak. I would not stay hydrated well enough with just a few 10oz bottles...
