[quote=Anonymous]On the gels - it is a science to figure out how much to consume during the race. Everyone is different. What is/was your formula for training? Consider every long run a trial run (ha) for the race. For me (I'm the 10 marathon PP) I know that I need one gel for every 30 minutes. Some people need more, some need less. If I am expecting to run a 4:30 marathon, that means I am probably going to take 9 gels. I always bring one extra because there have been times that I've lost one or one has leaked. Chomps and other chews don't work for me when running. They get in my teeth and they are just not ideal. A good rule of thumb is "Nothing new on race day." If you don't train with it, don't try it on race day. Repeat after me: Nothing New on Race Day. [/quote]
