Whole30 mid-run fuel

[masha]

Hello! This is my fourth time doing Whole30, but my first time doing it while training for a half marathon.  I usually use consume an energy gel (GU, Honey Stinger...) for mid-run fuel on runs longer than 6 miles.  

I suppose that I can fuel with whole foods instead of gels, but I don't want to risk any GI distress while on my run.  I've never had any sort of GI issues with energy gels on runs before, so I don't want to jinx it by introducing something new.  Plus, I intend on fueling with gels on race day.  

I would like to adhere to the Whole30 guidelines, but I don't want to jeopardize my training either.  Am I trying to have my cake and eat it too? Any recommendations?
