[quote=Anonymous]I think "rollers" means gently rolling hills. For the 8:17 poster looking for info on when to take gels ... For a half marathon, I used to take one, at about the 6 mile mark. They take maybe half an hour to kick in, so then you have a nice little boost for miles 9-13.1. I feel like advice has really changed in the past few years, and now a lot of people are recommending a LOT of fuel. Like, one at the start, and then every three miles throughout the race. My stomach would be a mess with that many gels. So, maybe split the difference and try two? Practice on training runs. For example, if you're doing a 10-miler, take a gel at mile 3 and mile 7. Observe how you feel. Then you can tweak your plan on your next long run, and see if that is better or worse. [/quote]
