The Story
A video from blog http://www.therunnersguide.com/blog/
My friends who don’t run ask me if I get hungry during my 20 mile
run. I tell them sometimes I do. When I do get hungry on my long run, I
suck down something called GU Energy Gel. It’s a small package that has
a jelly substance that contains carbohydrates. It helps put off fatigue
that usually slows you down during the marathon. It also delivers the
complex carbohydrates to muscles as energy.
I try to take in a packet every 3 to 4 miles. I also try to have
some water with them so they go down easier. I strongly recommend that
if you plan to use the GU packets in the marathon you practice using
them on your long runs. You want to make sure your body can handle it
because each person is different. You can buy GU Energy Gel online or
your favorite running store for about a dollar a packet.
