Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

I got a 1.5L back reservoir and have been using it for my longer (15 km +) runs. I’m stunned by the difference proper hyddration has made. Recovery time after longer runs has been much shorter as well.

My plans for long runs is to budget about 500ml of fluids per hour. If it’s very hot, maybe more.

I don’t own a vest, but try to filter or refill along the way.

I like hydration belts which carry one or two 500ml bottles.

I've never tried running with a vest before either. I usually don't carry water at all but I almost never go over an hour. I imagine it would annoy me if the flasks were swinging around at all.

Kids birthday party today so no run. I'll likely go tomorrow if the clean up goes ok....

I ran an evening marathon on Saturday. During the day I had to run various errands, then I hopped on a bus, a train, another train and another bus to get to the start. I was pretty drenched already by the time I got there. Still, I felt pumped for the run and started out overoptimistically. I ran the first three quarters at my half marathon pace, only to finish slooowly with heavily positive splits, though I still beat my previous best time by six minutes. I reached the finish about 20 minutes before sunset, then cheered on other finishers for a half hour until it was time to catch the train for the trek back home. A day well spent!

I just finished my first full marathon! It was the most grueling 4 hours and 15 minutes of my life. I've never been more sore or more exhausted. Can't wait to do it again next year!

Finally got out this morning. It was 2°. Good run, ended up quite slow in comparison to my recent times, but felt comfortable and strong, so still happy with it.
