Northwood_DK, I have a question.. on your runs over 1:30, such as your 13 mile runs, do you bring any hydration or nutrients for your run?

I haven't been thus far because it has not been too hot yet, and I haven't felt the need for it, but I am trying to figure out when I should start. Most things that I read seem to indicate it is a good idea to start thinking about it if the run is going to start going considerably over 1 hour, but it is very individualized depending on the person.

My run today is scheduled to likely be close to 2 hours (my long run for the week), and I'm puzzling if I should try bringing my hydration belt with me. I've actually never used it before, and thinking of giving it a try even if I don't end up using or needing it.
