Running with a Waist Bag

Running with a waist belt can take some getting used to if you have never tried it before. There is definitely a sweet spot where the belt will sit comfortably and not interfere with your running technique. Once you find this sweet spot, you’ll never look back. 
Some people can feel irritated or overheat faster while running with a hydration pack or a hydration vest. This is where a waist belt is a great alternative. If you think a waist belt is an optimal choice for you, here are a few tips to get fitted correctly:



  1. First and foremost, you’ll want to tuck your shirt into your shorts pants, or tights. This eliminates any excess material flapping around that may obstruct your access to the water bottles.
  2. When wrapping the belt around your waist, you want to be sure to place it on your true waist and not your hips. If the belt is too low, it may feel uncomfortable and can easily interfere with your hip movements altering your technique. 
  3. Ensure the belt is a snug fit. If the belt is slightly loose, it may bounce and jiggle around excessively causing discomfort or creating a distraction.
  4. Last but not least, fill up your water bottles and pop them into their appropriate spots in the belt, and get running!
