Running

Do you carry water/fuel while running? 

If so, do you prefer a hydration vest/backpack or a handheld bottle?

Lots of factors to take into account. 1. Is it race conditions and do they provide water stations? 2. How hot / humid is it? 3. How long am I running for? If it’s greater then 90 min then yes I would carry water

Yep. i would say given the time / distance you want to invest in a vest. My running coach advised against holding a bottle when running as it tenses the arms and shoulders resulting in poor running form / technique

I probably should've been more specific. Lately, on my long runs (180 min), I've been stopping at every water fountain on route. Most recently, I've started hiding a bottle at the 90-min mark on my route to add more fuel. I've noticed a lot of runners wearing hydration vests and holding bottles, so I was curious.
