I started out running with the waist pack, and then tried a camelback, and didn't like it at all.<BR/>I use Succeed caps and they work just fine.<BR/>Dirty Girl gaiters are great! And they really help keeping small stuff out of your shoes.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310860709666039413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34474971.post-36206164221498537122007-03-28T20:30:00.000-07:002007-03-28T20:30:00.000-07:00Terry- wow, thanks for all the great tips!

We should really sit down and talk about this course. You'll get more from that, rather than anything I can write here.<BR/><BR/>I use a handheld bottle and a single bottle waist pack. Both of those are the Amphipod ones. The waist pack is very comfortable.<BR/><BR/>I have a couple of camelbaks, too. One is a 45oz waist pack and the other is a 100oz backpack style. I use them on really long runs when I don't have support. I don't use them in races where there are aid stations to refill fluids.<BR/><BR/>Zombie Runner is great. Yes, get some ginger and try it out on a training run because trying to use it in a race. It does settle your stomach nicely. On those longer runs you'll find you go through highs and lows and I find that my stomach comes into that sometimes. The ginger is a nice trick.<BR/><BR/>I have a couple of pairs of the DirtyGirlGaiters. They're great for keeping the little rocks out of your shoes and reducing the likelihood of blisters. I'm sure you'll be able to find lavendar in the array of color options.<BR/><BR/>Either of your electrolyte options will work. You'll probably want to take 1 cap an hour the first time you use them. Again, you'll need to use them in training first to make sure you're taking the right amount. If you still cramp in training with 1 cap/hr, then up to two. Otherwise you stay at one.<BR/><BR/>--TerryRSD_Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545032941712225997noreply@blogger.com
