Drink and Food Holders

When running during training and racing, one should consider the following categories of drink and food holders to use to assist in performing at optimal levels: 1.)  Hydration belts, 2.) Hand held bottles, 3.) Race belts with pockets/holders.

Hydration Belts

When it comes to hydration belts, many different options are available for the avid runner or triathlete.  Among the hydration belts to think about are: 1.) Hydration belts with 2 flasks, 2.) Hydration belts with 4 flasks, 3.) Hydration belts holding 1 large bottle, 4.) Hydration belts holding 1 flask

  • Hydration belts with 2 flasks - for the runner looking to hydrate with roughly 16 to 20 ounces of fluid, a 2 flask hydration belt is a good option.  In addition to having the capacity for 16 to 20 ounces of fluid, these belts often have a compartment to also carry one or two energy gels as well as other essentials.  These belts should be sufficient for running races from a 10k to a marathon.  Although you may need more hydration in a marathon, in an attempt to not be weighed down too much by your belt, 2 bottles should be good for close to half the marathon and you can always re-fill your bottles at a hydration station if you prefer not to stop at all of the rest stops.

 

  • Hydration belts with 4 flasks - for the runner looking to hydrate with roughly 32 to 40 ounces of fluid, a 4 flask hydration belt is ideal.  In addition to having the capacity for 32 to 40 ounces of fluid, these belts often have a compartment or multiple compartments to carry energy gels and other training or race day necessities.  These belts are typically sufficient for running races from a half marathon to a marathon.

 

  • Hydration belts with 1 large bottle - for the runner who does not like to run with multiple flasks, a hydration belt with 1 large 16 to 20 ounce bottle may be a suitable alternative.  1 Bottle hydration belts typically have a rear holster to hold the one bottle.  These hydration belts often have one or two compartments as well for carrying other essentials like energy gels.

 

  • Hydration belts with 1 flask - for the runner looking to run and feel as light as possible, a hydration belt with 1 flask is ideal.  A 1 flask hydration belt is very handy for the runner in bigger races like a marathon or half marathon who does not like to get held up by slowing down for hydration at the hydration stations.  By carrying a hydration belt with 1 flask, this type of runner can keep his or her pace and hydrate for the first few miles at his or her choosing.

Hand Held Bottles

  • Hand held bottles - for runners who do not like to train with hydration belts, a hand held bottle may be a good alternative.  Most hand held bottles have a protective bottle holder which is very functional and serves the purpose of allowing you to grip the bottle better and these holders often have a compartment or multiple compartments to carry keys, gels, or other essentials.
