Nice run Lacey! What kind of hydration vest is that? I have the one where it has a water pouch in the back and it can get heavy depending how much water u put in it. Is that one better for your hydration you think ? It holds water bottles?
I just bought the basic aonijie one on Amazon! It’s been great and all the adjustable straps make it fit nicely. I too use a water bladder, I also bought one on Amazon. It is a 1.5 Liter bladder so a lot smaller than your usual one that you would bring hiking. I only fill it up with about 20 oz of my electrolytes so it’s not too heavy especially after Im well into my run, since Im drinking it. I like it because I hate carrying things in my hands during runs. I also have a hard time drinking while running so it’s nice to use the bladder because it’s easy to consume liquid through the tube without choking on the water. Def comes down to personal preference, hope that helps!
Thank you Lacey! i will look into it, i got the 20 dollor one from wal mart called ozark hydration vest but im not sure if it was light weight enough. I noticed this one has bowel water tube and a front part for hydration bottle and looks light weight. Nice 20 miler by the way! do u think its better to do your 18-20 milers at a lower heart rate effort in training?
Hey Lacey i was about to order the AONIJIE hydration vest after see good reviews on it. My question do u think it will be ok to put gatorade or powerade in the bladder? for electrolytes. Because ive heard others say it can be hard clean and cause mold putting other things besides water in it, is it ok put gatorade in it u think? or would it be better use gatorade in bottles for front part of vest?
@@SuperTreybo I put electrolytes with the bladder I bought. The vest does not come with one. But as long as you rinse and clean it as soon as you get home, there won’t be mold growth and it stays fresh. I have one of those straw cleaners to help clean out the spigot. The nice thing about the one I have you can detach the hose part from the bladder so it’s easy to run/blow water through that part to clean it. If you don’t want the hassle then a bottle would be a little easier maintenance wise but for me it’s worth it.
