I will take a 100 calorie Roctane Gel every 30 Minutes with 4-5 pro bolt gummies putting me right at about 250 calories per hour. I will take a salt tablet every 2 hours since the temperature is projected to be low. As far as fluid intake I will average roughly 12- 14 oz of water per hour that is diluted with an electrolyte tablet. Other than that that's really it, usually I like to throw a little coca cola in at the end as gels get old real quick. As far as what not to eat, you should avoid any hard to digest foods like proteins since your gut is essentially shut off while running. Your Body can only process 2-3 hundred calories per hour while your running so it needs to be carbs, sugars and salt to maintain your glycogen storage and be able to hit the bloodstream quickly. Thank for the support, hope all goes well with some rain projected in the forecast.
