ultimatekate Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm on day 23 and in the process training for a 10 miler. My runs are getting longer (I have six on tap this weekend). I'm curious how people fuel during long runs. Right now, my plan is to try some Whole30 compliant baby food (sweet potatoes and apples) and maybe some coconut water when I finish. I want to get used to my food/liquid intake now to make the race go more smoothly. Pre-Whole30, I would go with GU and Gatorade. They'll have water and Gatorade along the course. And I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I browsed and didn't see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Honestly I've found that I don't need any fuel during a run that is in the 2 hour range. I ran all my half marathons last summer (after going Paleo/Whole30) with just 50/50 water/coconut water in my bottles. Focus on getting good starchy vegetables in your meal the night before and eating some good protein and fat in the morning before and you should be just fine.

ultimatekate Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks! Any brand of coconut water you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Anything that is just coconut water and nothing added. It took me a while to find a couple I like so just try them until you find one. I think the brand I'm using now is coco vita. I got a good deal on it at Costco.
