HAND HYDRATION
Nathan SpeedDraw Plus Handheld Bottle
$ budget-friendly within accessories
An insulated bottle with a hand strap so you are holding water without actually gripping it, plus a small zip pocket for a key and a gel. The strap does the work; your hand just comes along. The gateway drug to carrying fluids, before you commit to a full vest.
Best for: runs of an hour or two with no fountains

Worth knowing about accessories
- Apply anti-chafe balm before the run, not after; it is prevention, not first aid.
- Test every belt, vest, and pair of socks on a training run first, because race day is a terrible time for product research.
- Wash technical socks and skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibres and undoes the wicking you paid for.
- Keep a small blister kit in your race bag; the day you need tape is never the day you planned for.
