I am on W6 & just finished D2. I have not had the need to drink something so far, but I wondering if I should start carrying some water since the runs will be getting longer. Do any of you carry water when on your runs?

    I don't but it would be nice to! I know you can get backpack things with water pouches but I would only spend the money for something like that if I was running long distance. I like drinking water when I run on the treadmill but i can usually survive running/walking for 30-45 minutes without it and just have water when I get home.

    I carry water. When I'm running outside, I use my boyfriend's nifty running bottle. It's in a kind of doughnut shape so you can grip it easily as you run. I don't usually drink a lot when I do run (I always drink some before, which reduces the urge I think), but I like the reassurance of having it there if I desperately need some.
