What’s the cheapest way to put energy in your vest when running long or in extreme heat?
I’ve had good luck with dates. Lots of carbs in a very easy to consume and easy to portion package. They were pretty easy on my stomach, too, but everybody is different.
my favorite is sliced microwaved potatoes with a little oil and lots of salt! very filling, for me a small portion goes a long way
edit: in a plastic baggy
Wow! Actual food? Do you have a hard time chewing and swallowing while running?
I wonder what instant mash would be like.
I saw this recipe recently. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but it seems reasonable. I’ll add a pinch of “salt substitute,” for potassium and substitute glucose and sucrose for the fructose. Also some lemon juice to make it more palatable.
DIY powder for fueling runs and this year’s #ultras. Gist is 100 calories is 14g maltodextrin, 7g fructose, 3g MCT, 0.1g salt mixed with liquid of choice.
