Not quite a fell race, but 56 miles nevertheless...
Over the past 5 weeks, I've completed 2 marathons and one ultra event (all offroad). Whilst I accept that it's perhaps a little too much, I treated them as training runs so just aimed to get round.
My problem is I'm completely running out of steam before the end - I've tried using energy gels and after a while I can't stand the thought of them. Tried dried apricots and felt queasy.
What do folk here fuel up with during a long distance effort? I have 4 months in which to get myself sorted, so got a bit of experimentation time.
