The Best Handheld Water Bottles for Runners

Here's a big mistake many athletes and active people make: they don't drink until they're thirsty, at which point they're about 2-3% dehydrated. It's important to replenish fluids throughout exercise, especially if you're sweating a lot, it's hot, or you're exercising hard. Performance is likely to decrease if you don't.

Water is always a smart option. A balance of carbs and electrolytes in a sports drink (like these homemade ones) is important during high intensity workouts too. Whatever you choose, keep them handy in the best handheld water bottles listed below.
