Why Your Trail Running Pack Needs To Help Keep You Hydrated

Staying hydrated during any kind of exercise or physical activity is one of the best ways to optimize performance. The symptoms of dehydration can include weakness, fatigue, and cramping, which is obviously not conducive to getting the most out of any athletic endeavour. Runners who spend long periods of time in the outdoors while sweating and breaking down their body tissues on runs of several miles have special concerns due to the possibility of improper hydration. Fluids are routinely lost through sweat while running, and they need to be replaced consistently. Over time, this lack of proper hydration can result in serious health problems if not addressed.

Despite the potential for improper hydration, many runners go for miles at a time in the wilderness through trails without access to proper hydration or nourishment unless they plan ahead. One of the most convenient ways to provide proper hydration is to wear a trail running backpack that is specially designed to help keep runners supplied with fluids and other essentials. Orange Mud has solved this challenge through a proprietary design which accommodates water bottles and other accessories that can be easily carried during runs without interfering with exercise routines. The design is unique and unlike most other backpacks that people use for recreational purposes.
 


Orange Mud backpacks have a shoulder harness system and only weigh between five and twenty ounces, which makes them virtually unnoticeable during a run. They are also secured around the torso and back so that they do not sway or move while the body is in motion. Certain models also have a bladder that can be attached to a hose for easy access to fluids while running, which saves valuable time. There are also styles which accommodate larger amounts of fluids for those who train and compete in endurance events rather than shorter runs, while more lightweight models are great for those who mostly sprint or only run a few miles at a time.

Serious runners should only choose a trail running backpack that is designed based on their specific needs, as general backpacks are likely to cause more problems than they solve, and they are not very helpful to runners.
