Despite the fact that in the winter it's cold outside, drink during long runs anyway you want. How to make sure that the water you have taken with you on a run, did not turn into ice or ice does not become? We found seven life hacking, to help you cope with this problem, and asked avid runners, which ones really work.

The question of how to deal with replenishment of water reserves while running in the warm season, it is not necessary. Everything is simple: take in water or isotonic convenient bottle and forth.

What to do with all these troubles? We decided to look for answers to all these questions on the Web and ask the other runners.

Tip number 1. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and just before jogging. Not necessarily to drink a whole bottle, since the cold very quickly want to use the toilet, in this case 200-300 ml is sufficient. This applies to short runs. If you are going to run more than 10 km, the need to bring at least a small bottle.

Tip number 4. Another option to keep the water warm - wrap the bottle in aluminum foil! Only water should be warm enough to pour, so that the heat kept longer.

Tip number 5. Use special Thermos for baby bottles. They do not work worse thermos.

Tip number 6. Remember, in an article about Christmas gifts for runners We mentioned hydrator? Many manufacturers offer special winter options for skiers and fans of winter racing, which makes it so that your water for a long time will be a suitable temperature.

Tip number 7. If we are very thirsty, but with the water you do not have, you can buy a small bottle of water running past the store. You just have time to drink it before it becomes ice.

As for the food, what if you do not want to break the teeth of the icy chocolate bar or energy bar, put them close to the body, that is, to heat. Put into the inside pocket or wear jogging Waist bag under his jacket.
