Fuel the Long Run

Fuel the Long Run

On runs longer than about 75 minutes, your body needs fuel during the run, not just after it.

A gel, a few dates, or a sports drink every 30 to 45 minutes keeps the last miles honest.

Practise your race fuel on long training runs until your stomach treats it as routine.
