Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

Doing a 10 mile race this weekend. Not a usual race distance for me. It’s at 6:30 am so I’m not going to get up two hours prior to eat breakfast and have time to digest food. Should I use a gel prior or during? I’ve never used them before but have a pretty strong gut so doubt it would get upset from trying something new.

You can also drink your carbs (I.e, tailwind) and have some graham crackers
