You go for a 2 hour long training run, but if you follow the advice you need to carry a Gigillion litres of water.
One choice is to run a long lap and drop the water off, but then the run is boring.
Does anyone use the water pack things, and are they any good? Or are there any other ideas?

I have to say that the angle does make it easy to get the bottle out, I just wish it wouldn't do it spontaneously!

Not in the bladder.
I thank you.
Impossible to clean though so you need to sterilise once in a while with baby bottle type stuff.

For runs of + 2hrs I carefully place a bottle somewhere on my route (well-hidden !)
and pick it up on the way. Anything under 2 hrs you should only need 1 x 500ml bottle of fluid provided you've drunk plenty of water/isotonic drink beforehand.
£1 coin in my shoe to buy a bottle of water... drinking from the tap in public toilets (or the toilets in a pub or supermarket - I just walk in and use sixth sense to find the loo) ... RunAid bottle (you don't notice you're carrying them after the first mile).
But I currently live in rural Iceland so just drink from mountain streams when I'm thirsty (falling in is an occupational hazard on this one though).
