I liked Tim's question about drinking on the run and thought a poll might shed some more light on the topic.

I haven't gone on very many runs over ten miles, but the way I work is I drink about 4-5 or more liters of water per day, and so I'm just constantly hydrated. even on oober-long runs. and after the run, drink another liter or two, and just continue the cycle.... ( :

I use the straw cuz I hate to stop but I require fluids and need to hydrate at nearly every water stop.

I just grabbed the cup, and got as much as possible while drinking on the run
While training, I used a water bottle that I could squeeze fluid as needed. Which was more effective than my race method

As long as the water or gatorade isn't up to the cup brim, I've gotten pretty good about getting the gup into a spout.
