Hydration

For runs under an hour, you usually don't need to worry about water; for longer routes and in the heat, you do. A soft flask has two advantages over a hard bottle: as it empties, it shrinks, so it doesn't slosh, and once empty, you can fold it into your pocket. In a running vest, it belongs at the front, where you can reach it without stopping. A running belt is a cheaper solution, but it must sit across your hips, otherwise it rides up. For runs longer than two hours, count on electrolytes too — large amounts of plain water alone tend to flush salts out of the body.
