Sorry about the sound for some clips - please bear with. I do have some whizzy new wireless interview microphones now but this was last year when using a very temperamental mic, so there is some very frustratingly un-dimmable background noise in some, but the tips from the interviewees are worth persevering!

I figured this out on a 3 week hike. Before I started I tried various meat bars and hated them, the worst was the salmon bar specifically. Someone I was going with had the salmon bars and after 2 weeks I had to have something different so I traded with her for the salmon bars. I loved and craved them. When I did a multi day ultra I made sure to pack a few after that experience and yet again I loved and craved them. Still hate them on day to day life, but now is a go to for endurance.

It is brilliant to hear top athletes telling you their eating habits during an ultra race . It is interesting to know the very different kind of food that each athlete prefers and that it works for them . A very useful video Claire , well put together.

I am old now and much wiser.
A marathon is a short event. I only would worry about water.
50 miles is a good weekend run. Start with 500 calories/hour of simple carbs. Perhaps less in the last hour. (500 calories/hour is less than I burned per hour, but not much less.)
100 miles is long enough that burning more calories than one consumes is an issue. 600 calories/hour of simple carbs is about the most I can handle. Save the fats and protein for after the event.

Thanks for sharing George! Sounds like you have it nailed :)

Anyone have some ideas on what to eat before a run? I struggle to eat real food in the mornings(like full on gagging) any carbohydrate drinks or anything that I can take prior to runs would be helpful.

@@wildgingerruns thank you I’ll give it a listen! 👍🏽

I have a pretty sensitive stomach and have trouble consuming calories in the mornings. I have found that a cup of steel oats, some blueberries, and a little honey sets me up for success on any adventure I’m headed out for
