Duly noted!<br /><br />I really want to try Coke like all the hardcore ultrarunners do. I feel like the bubbles would ruin my stomach though. Maybe warm Coke? I HAVE used gummy bears for runs (more for fun than for fuel) and I guess they worked okay. Or at least, they didn't make me sick.Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-86795164323839568792013-03-26T21:46:15.783-08:002013-03-26T21:46:15.783-08:00Yeah, last year I used margarita shot bloks for al...Yeah, last year I used margarita shot bloks for all my runs and they worked well.

Oreos probably don't have much of the latter, but for half marathons in Rochester (except maybe in July), you'll probably be OK. But a punch of sugar eaten at mile 6 or 7 and kicking in at mile 8-9 is very welcome. :)<br /><br />Try the Oreos. And some people do legitimately use candy (jelly beans, gummy bears, why the heck NOT Sour Patch Kids?!?!). If it works, why not?? Just...ummm...please test it before you race. ;-)Holly KNhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-55525460301076046352013-03-25T11:01:04.713-08:002013-03-25T11:01:04.713-08:0010 miles, damn.

A part of me just wants to pack some Oreo's and some Sour Patch Kids, but apparently that's not appropriate. Whatever.

Not having run a full marathon, I can't really speak from experience, but I've done a few runs around 16 miles (and on 8+ mile trail runs - I always get hungrier than on regular runs)and always take fuel with me. Like you, I don't usually tap into anything unless I am going 10+ miles, but when I do, I actually start taking it early in the run - around mile 5 or 6. At the half marathon two weeks ago, I started at mile 5 and took in one shot block (about 33 calories?)every mile or two. <br /><br />I also recommend shot blocs/chomps..much easier and less messy than gu/gel...but I have also made my self try almost everything out there to make sure that's what worked best for me.

I think part of it is that my stomach was always off when I lived in New York and I'm kind of suffering PTSD from the many long runs I did that had me nowhere near a bathroom. I haven't had any issues in months, but I'm always paranoid it's going to come back.<br /><br />Oh, I actually haven't said anything about my goal race, mostly because I haven't officially registered for it yet. Must get on that! It's at the end of June, but we can (usually) expect pretty mild temperatures. But it could be anywhere from 40 and rainy to 80+ degrees... usually June treats us well, though, so I imagine it'll be perfect running weather (fingers crossed!) with some rain possibly thrown in. It WILL require more water/food than I currently consume, though (ie. nothing). I'll just need to suck it up and start eating during runs to, as you said, figure out what works. Booo!Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-52899526609959646322013-03-24T22:51:58.877-08:002013-03-24T22:51:58.877-08:00Yes, you do need to practice fueling. Yes, that m...Yes, you do need to practice fueling. Yes, that means introducing something while you're running. No, I wouldn't be worried, fueling-wise, that 16 miles is your longest run. For now, I would assume that if your body accepts it at 8, 11, or 13 miles - it will accept it at 18, 20, or 22. [Are you sure this is the same girl that, just a few weeks ago, was scarfing a hot dog at the Iditarod kick-off thingie, then going for a run???]<br /><br />I'm biased, but I'd suggest trying chews/chomps/sports beans - something small and quantized, so that you can eat half the pack without leaving a gooey sticky mess in your belt/pocket/pouch. <br /><br />Try eating a few before your next run (of any distance that's not a tempo/interval workout). See how they feel. Then, try taking them during a run - possibly even your easy easy runs. Even if it's just 5 beans after mile 2 of a 5 miler. Then, at least, you'll gain confidence in your body's ability to tolerate them.<br /><br />Obviously, you'll have to then try them on the 10 and 16 milers. I'd start ASAP - if you try something and it doesn't work, you need to have time to try something else on another run. I'd try taking before and during your longer runs - before only because it's the only way you'll be able to see how your body feels 10 miles after taking them. [If you were doing 20 mile long runs, you could start at mile 10, but obviously...] You're right - on these runs, you probably don't need the nutrition - but you do need to practice it!<br /><br />I have to confess that I don't know your goal race. Depending on the expected temps/weather, and your sweating habits, you can even try using something non-sports related that you know sits well for you without running: jelly beans, raisins, gummy bears. [The only thing they don't provide is salt.] <br /><br />Don't be afraid to experiment! Go to the store and buy 1 or 2 of 5 different kinds of energy things to try! Rest eas(ier) knowing that you can test on a nice, slow easy run...<br /><br />I did not run long today. I have been sitting at my desk, on the phone, all morning. Can't wait to get to the gym later.<br /><br />U vs. A? Don't know. In fact, my husband recently commented: "Holly? I think your website tag line should be 'fArthest', not 'fUrthest', race." I haven't made the time to do the research. Thanks for -clearing things up- adding to the confusion...?Holly KNhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
