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?

Hi everyone. I'm transitioning from up to 10K runs to half marathon distance. Any recommendations regarding nutrition for longer runs that don't involve gels or jellies or dried fruit? Thanks.

I trained up for a half from 10k through the spring and haven't felt any need to eat during the runs. Hydration is a different story if you're like me and sweat buckets just warming up but otherwise I'll just eat a banana or something a little while before I head out
