Hello
I am thinking of getting a camelbak , I am training for a marathon ( my first) and think I now need to think about fuelling . S was thinking of getting a camelbak can anyone advise me on them where to get them etc as there seems to be loads of models?
Also what energy drink /powder etc would you recommend to use to give me that boost during long runs and where is the best place to get them . New on the fuelling thing as never run this far before !!!!! But did 10 miles yesterday and could have done with a pick me up !!!

If you use energy stuff in the camelbak you have to keep it a lot cleaner as the bugs will thrive off the sugars.
You should be good to run a half marathon without any supplements - your body should have enough energy stored to get you through that distance.
You were probably just tired from the unusual distance ?
Either that or add antifreeze ?
When I went to get some water - it was exactly the same temperature as my mouth so I didn't realise I was sucking in any water to begin with - so i tried to breathe it. Much spluttering later - and it had cooled a bit so it didn't happen again...
oops! i did think about putting hot water in mine thinking that by time i needed a drink it would have cooled to luke warm, but thought it may have perished the rubber bits in the bladder/tubes etc
drowning by camelbak-thats a new one!!
