Another of my bad habits is not drinking very much liquid (expresso
addict) during the day and then running badly in the evening. Even on
a cold day, you lose a lot of water when running. Good hydration often
helps to make a good run.
If you down a pint or 2 of water just before running, you may feel
uncomfortable during the run. A better solution is to keep sipping
liquid over the 4 hours or so before. Then maybe a smallish glass
about half an hour before and a biggish glass as soon as you finish.
For most runs of less than 1 hour you shouldn't need water en route -
but many runners do drink on shorter runs as it can help to give a
mini boost when required.
For longer runs, there are hydration packs that can be carried in a
bum bag or backpack. Less expensive are oval ring shaped bottles that
can be carried easily.
