I need the Ibups Ady - for cramp more than owt!
I take a couple before a long run - maybe 30 mins before and then carry some with me - I also carry the gel to administer direct.
But I tend not to use them away from the long runs. I'll have 2 before the PPP and probably take 3 (one at a time) in running.
Nuun tablets this year though so I'm hopin they will help.
