Summer makes hydration much harder. Options include

bigger supply (hydration pack, 6 bottle FuelBelt, etc)

scheduled reloading (convenience stores, caching, loop courses, kind friends or relatives willing to drive by)

carrying powders, concentrates, etc, and hitting water sources along the way

It can be done! Come September, you'll be amazed how much easier it all seems!

Completed my first half marathon distance on Sunday and man I am a little soar! I completed it in 2:44 for a 12:32 avg pace! I took several walk breaks starting at mile 7. I can see that I need to work on a hydration plan and perhaps plan on taking in some food on my next long sunday run, which is supposed to be 15 miles. What do you guys do for food and water? I run with a 32oz fuel belt but that was gone around mile 10! Any advice would be great. Thanks

9 @ sub 10 pace. Wasn't too hot today but it rained most of the run. I hate wet shoes.

Ran 12.25 miles today at an 8:48 pace...1 hour 48 minutes. I actually walked 4 - 1 minutes breaks today. Figuered I would try it out and see if it helps. Feeling good so far. It was 78 degrees and very sunny...Nice day to run. Tommorrow will be a rest day or maybe a bike ride / walk.

3 miles at 8:50 pace plus lifting and pilates. I saw my personal strength and conditioning coach (e.g. my great friend, Bill who has a degree in sports science) and he said I needed to start lifting legs if I wanted to get faster. I told him I didn't have time and he made me agree to two days a week. Day 1 was today. Let's see how long I keep up with this one...

Mid -upper 70s with a few showers but lots of cloud cover

2 miles with the dogs

5x(4 minutes hard, 1 minute recovery) on hilly, wet, grassy ground (the softened ground feeling wondrously fine after being hardbaked recently)

4 more easy miles on rolling roads
