Water Carriers
![[Deleted User]](https://w2.vanillicon.com/233b5f7eb5bd0dcdacb2cda35b44515f_100.png)
I need to get some sort of bladder type water carrier, ideally to hold around 3 litres.
Any recommendations

Mine fits nicely on my back, and although the liquid swishes around, I can only hear it rather than feel it.
I would recommend it, although if I were training for nothing more than a 1/2 marathon or 10k I wouldn't have bothered.
The reason for 3 litre is because I run in fairly severe heat and humidity. If (as usual) I don't get into London I was planning to do the Dead Sea Marathon so I will need it. At the moment I am struggling and need at least 1/2 litre of water for a 4 mile or 30 minute run.

JF i use a flashflo but thats less than 2l.. but nice bumbag style. if you're doing long distance races you may have to carry stuff anyway. i have a nice karrimor pack that will take a bladder.
I've been looking at the camelbak mule which holds 3 litres I was just wondering if anybody had any experience of it or anything similar. My problem is I won't be able to see what I buy, it will either be mail order or someone will buy it for me.
Does sound like you need a lot of water - are you hydrating enough before you run?
.....or on reflection maybe I'm just trying to run too fast as I'm coming back from injury (and pretty stupid).
My Left Knee/Stevie W - how easy is it to drink from the camelbak mule, particularly when your already out of breath
I use it on long runs only so I'm running
around marathon pace - I find it a lot easier than using a bottle,
it feels a bit strange at first, but you soon get used to it. If you keep your mouth slightly open as you suck on the tube you will find it much easier to get a rapid flow of water.
The major advantages I find over a bottle belt, are comfort and the ease of having a drink without pulling a bottle out the belt.
My wife bought a new balance 1 1/2 litre water carrier when she was back in the uk but I haven't given up on the camelback just yet.
I ran 4 miles without water, mainly cos its Ramadan and I can't drink outside. But at least its an improvement

The bladder capacity doesn't actually mean much, since the pocket that holds the bladders can be easily switched with bigger or smaller type of a bladder. The hydration system on the backpack works just fine! I like what Camelbak do.
