“Except for the longest events, skip the solids.”
Define “longest.” Seriously. I’m training for my second marathon–my first as a vegan. I powered myself with Gu the first time around. for all the same reasons, I’m not using them in my training. Your homemade gel (with chia seeds) is working well. I was considering complementing that with dried fruit–specifically dates, figs, and/or apricots, which all have lots of carbs and are portable. (As an added bonus, apricots also have a ton of potassium!)
I guess my question is this: I have 3 long training runs before the event (Nike Women’s in SF), so I still have time to experiment. Is it worth my time to test dried fruit for gastric distress, or would it generally be a bad idea not worth pursuing? Thanks for the feedback.
