They are not hard plastic Buff and just cruch under foot, but they would be a right bugger to bend into shape to drink from like you describe, in fact I would imagine they would split and you would be wearing the contents.......

I was watching a documentary on Comrades marathon in South Africa, and they really make you earn your fluids with these plastic "bags" of liquid (honestly, they looked like IV bags) that you had to jab with a straw to drink from. That would be frustrating enough for 26.2 miles...I could only imagine what it would be like for 54 miles...

I could never manage that Buff, I have enough trouble getting a straw into a pouch of Capri-Sun for my daughter, without it puncturing the other side!!

OK...It's finally quitting time here in Pennsylvania! WEEKEND!!! LONG RUN!!! I'm doing 18 miles tomorrow on the Forbidden Drive trail in Fairmount Park in Philly with my running parter and lots of other weekend warriors. Then a nice 30-mile bike ride on Sunday as recovery. What do my fellow New York in-training runners have on tap? Whatever that may be, I wish you all happy trails and good running this weekend....

Have a good one Buff. I'm hoping a gentle 8 miles, if my calf is up to it. Been a bit sore since Thursday Long run. Then off to see Prince in London for some cross training( dancing)!

If all goes well, 22 miles tomorrow morning... last long before a few weeks where getting in a long weekend run is going to be tough.
Boab - I've only had a couple - but the SiS gels with caffeine in them seem to do the job...

Good luck with the long runs guys - I've got a 5km race this afternoon - not sure if it will help in the hunt for a decent marathon but what the heck!
