    I'm prepping for the Bataan Memorial marathon and would like to begin using a Camelbak-like water container on my long runs - as I will be using one during the race.  What I'm trying to avoid is a bouncing, chafing weight on my back/shoulders that is too uncomfortable to use for the 26.2.  Any suggestions?

    I recently got an amphi-pod belt. The model I have has two 15 oz bottles that clip to the belt, but I'm sure you can add more/ larger bottles. It's very comfortable, but my set-up does not hold a whole lot of water (been enough for my training runs so far).

    I just bought a camelbak flashflo. It sits on your waist and is comfortable for my long runs. You just have to make sure that you get all the air out before you run to avoid water sloshing around. It's also easy to tighten the straps as you go as the water empties. It holds 45 oz of water and can hold gels, my phone, keys, etc. I would definitely recommend it.
