[QUOTE="Notorious, post: 1533750, member: 219023"] Hello, I'm doing a half marathon next month. I've done a couple already. Be prepared that you might be a bit higher than optimum at the start due to race nerves. I use jelly babies as they're 5g of carb in each so easy to know exactly what you're taking in. During road races, there are often supporters giving out sweets and gels on the way though I appreciate this is less likely on a trail run. Try not to take on too many carbs at once, I messed up my last race a bit by going too high and needing to stop to wee twice! As for keeping going when you hit the wall, my husband gave me the advice to look ahead for an attractive bum - and them to just follow that bum ;-) Works for me! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
