    When I ran my first half-marathon, I bonked at about 13k since breakfast was a bit longer before the race than expected. But at the aid stations they had Coke - let me tell you, carbonated sugar juice had, and has, never tasted so good.

    The next race season I plan to be better at fueling on the course so I am training with them now. I am starting to use gels and found one I quite like and works. Watching what I eat before and after as well. How come nobody told me it would be so much work before I started this Triathlon life style.

    Great video! I have been using jelly belly sports beans, and untapped or stinger waffles with a mix of Gatorade zero or Gatorade Endurance when it’s a super hot day or a really long training session. If I forget my fuel At home I’ll just stop and get a pack of Swedish Fish with a regular Gatorade. Occasionally I’ll mix in some Essential Amino Acids with my Gatorade.

    Here in Canada, I eat fuzzy peachs and sour patch kids as most other sweets contain GELATIN... Gelatin is a protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones with water. It is usually obtained from cows or pigs.

    Hi Heather thank you so much for all the great content you are such a pleasure, as far as food is concerned, bananas before during and after workouts, any gels are great, 30 to 60 minutes before a workout rice cakes or pretzels, Gatorade anytime except for right before a swim for me, and a warning about any electrolyte drinks that have no salt, those are a potential trap for endurance athletes

    I personally use banana to refuel, you can carry it in a belt or even better, you can dehydrate it with a relatively cheap machine.
    Energetic bars are quite expensive, and have not added benefits from dehydrated fruits (you can use peaches, oranges, kiwis…)

    I like a combo of fuels on my long runs, keeps things interesting. My current favorites are dates, organic honey packets, and Honey Stinger gels (not nearly as sweet as GU). Dried apricots are good too. For 3-4 hour runs, I'll do baked/salted potatoes, Larabars, or even a PBJ.

    I'm highly latose intolerant and have to be really carefull what I ingest.
    Chocolate, cakes, 99% of all energy bars will make me collapse with a fever, headache and a painfull stomach.
    I'm absolutely not a vegan, but most vegan products have shown to agree with me on runs (mostly ultras).
    As gel I favor using Actrive Root Gel Mix (Even if import from UK to EU is being punished hard by EU customs... (Active Root, please set up an office in EU !)).
    Snacks and protein bars differs a little, but at the moment it's from "The Protein Works" and have proven to be really good.
    And banana !!!
    Dont forget water.

    Just finished the Cincinnati Marathon last weekend. 3:45 but 10 minutes off my goal. I really thought I had worked out my fueling issues. Found a gel that didn't make my stomach upset. Took on nutrition every 25 minutes (8 total). Still bonked... What's up? Do I really need more?!?! My Garmin did say that I burned 3500 Cal during the race.

    You say "beware of fat from nuts". Why is fat necessarily a bad thing, other than that it may not give you any benefit on a shorter workout?

  • @aaronrogers5635
    @aaronrogers5635 10 месяцев назад +2

    Surely, sugars have a negative effect on long distance runs as they have a high spike in insulin then a massive dip rather than a balance whole carbs give?

  • @nickc4716

    I like different gels for bike and run. Run- small, thick, gel like Cliff can be ‘sipped’. Bike- thinner gel that can be knocked back in a single go (torq).

    Unless you are running over 2 hours, you should not need carbs to fuel your long runs. If you do, you are far to carb dependent or running at a pace that is way too fast.

    I feel like talking about dental hygiene is also important. Having sugary water and stuff stuck to your teeth hour on end is no bueno. Try to swish out your mouth with regular water after consuming products or brush your teeth before going on a long run.
