Hi TheEd - I wonder if I could ask for some advice please? With the half marathon coming up my mind is turning to a few details; one of which is Race day nutrition. I am a little green about this as with my 1500m background it was pretty simple. The 10k has been fine too, but I know 21k will take me about 80 mins and clear down my carbo stores a lot. I am thinking of using an energy gel on the run to boost me. Race starts 9.30am - so I am thinking porridge and banana breakfast at 7am + sports drink pre race. Is this a good plan? At what point should I take the gel? I thougt 13 kilo mark?:tourist:
I am recovering well from Saturday race.
13k easy yesterday and easy 10k today on grass / trail.
90 mins tomorrow on trail
5 x 2000 Thursday
rest friday
25k on Saturday
All good
