Things You'll Need:
- Water bottles
- Water carrier
-
Step 1
Make a habit of filling your body with liquids all the time. Drink plenty of water every day, and eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. Increase liquids when your urine becomes dark in color.
-
Step 2
Plan your jogging route so you pass by your house at least once during the run. Set a bottle of water on the curb in front of your house, in the mailbox or on your car bumper. Take a drink each time you pass your house.
-
Step 3
Run through parks that have drinking fountains. Take a drink each time you pass a fountain. Repeat the same route several times for longer runs.
-
Step 4
Take a quick drive before your jog and place water bottles in several places along the route, preferably near a garbage can. Place sealed 8-ounce water bottles in bushes, on a park bench or other spots. Throw the bottle in the trash -- or, better, a recycling container -- after you drink.
-
Step 5
Pack the water and take it on your run. Wear a water pouch on your back or take a fluid carrier or bottle carrier. Put the water in the fridge the night before so it will be cool for drinking and refreshing enough for a splash in the face. Purchase water carriers designed for runners at sporting goods stores.
