I just hate running with these and difficult to find one that fits me properly. But may have to bit the bullet as they say.

So I needed to fit in my long run early this week as have a Half Marathon in 'The Hague' at the weekend. It was a good and bad run, took a turning too early, so had to change my route. Then after doing the reverse of a different section turned off too early again :P Not an issue would just mean...

Same here, but it's normally for no longer then 4 minutes, or a set distance so never on it for too long.

We use these on our Hyrox classes, it's mainly about trusting yourself to lean into it. Like you I struggle on these alot.

I've moved my runs around a bit this week so this evening an easy 6 miles. Heart rate mainly below 150 again which is very pleasing. Rounded it up too 10k as it just seemed like the thing to do :P 57:43 average pace of 9:18 minute miles. If I can get some more weight off, I think my target of...

Chrome Soft Triple Track 4 dozen for £130, If I had my Credit card with me I'd buy some. As It's always hard to find these

My long run today 17.5 miles completed, felt comfortable. But at the end of the 4th lap could just feel my left hamstring. So decided too not go for the marathon. Averaged 9;39 minute miles, HR under 150 for pretty much the whole thing so very happy chappy

Easy run today, 10k in 61 minutes, 9:51 average per mile. Mostly zone 2, a couple of spikes on some uphill sections. I just hate running easy though

So 1k intervals today. Warm up then 5 x 1k @ 7:30 minute miles. I was too quick for most of the reps, but just the right session for me today. Just run as hard as I could :P 6.7 miles averaging 9:19 minute miles. Including 9 minutes of walking in there.

So went to a quickish Parkrun this morning. Aim was to see where my speed was at. AIM was sub 25 minutes. First mile behind the 24 minute pacer, second mile went past the pacer. About half a mile left saw the pacer catching me up. Worked pretty hard til the end 23.21. Still a little under the...

Hyrox session this morning, felt pretty good. Then on the Dreadmill for 5 miles easy, as I think I'd have smashed out a run outside. 50 minutes slog done.

You see I hate having a bladder I'd rather not have a drink. Although I've carried 0.5l squeeze tubes that aren't rigid.

I've never had an issue with gels, always seem to be ok for me. I'm just trying to find something extra so I'm not having 8 or more gels for the marathon. Could get a bit tedious :P

Never have, longest run not in a race has been HM distance. I've planned my long runs around Saturn running races in London, so I can just use there aid station. I've got a 19 miler in mid March, that If I need a drink I'll buy one on the route.
