Has anyone got a hydration system that works for running? I have a platypus 2l pouch and tube, which would be invaluable for long runs in summer but the rucksack i have to go with them isn't really stable enough for running. I did one run with it but couldn't adjust it so it didn't move around and it was more annoying than it was worth!!
Anyone run with such systems? any advice on which to go for with a 90-120min long run in mind?

I've got a Camelbak Flashflo which is a waist mounted bladder which in my opinion is superb. It has external straps on top of the waist strap which you tighten as the liquid level lowers, it holds the liquid close to your body so that it can't slosh around, it really works well. It was reviewed in RW about a year ago and they rated it very highly as it is designed specifically for running.
I have attached a link which shows you what it is like, please note I didn't get it from this website, I told a family member that I wanted it for a birthday present and they bought it on line somewhere, don't know what site.

It's not enough for a race as obviously you dehydrate more, but for a training run it's fine if you are hydrated to start with.
Runnersneed stock them amongst others if you want to see an example online.
