Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    For a 10km I would consider having a gel around halfway through. They make one with espresso flavor that contains caffeine that I find I can stomach okay in the mornings.

    I have also found that I can eat a bowl of oatmeal 30-60 minutes before a run without it bothering me. Slow-burning carbs last longer into your run.

      I did wonder if 10km was too short to have a gel, but I might consider it, at least for an early morning run. I haven’t tried having a gel yet so maybe I just need to experiment.
