    Re: Jelly Babies

    I've got such a bad coffee addiction that it was starting to become a problem as my hours on the hoof increased. Then I read an article by an ultra-runner about chocolate-covered coffee beans - he was using them to get re-focused when tiredness and sleep deprivation were becoming a problem on long ultras.

    I can't run that kind of distance, (yet), but I didn't see why I should have to wait to enjoy the little Java delights. On the last few long runs I have grabbed a handful and ended the run full of beans.

    I try to be discrete about nibbling them during races - nowt to do with performance enhancing substances - I just don't want people thinking I'm eating rabbit shit

    Going to try this as well. Had some ages ago but never tried them on a run.

    I've used them a few times really good for keeping you pepped up but they do dehydrate you.

    But there is this for healthy energy drink, I've used a few times. good tase and no chemicals or additives.

    It'd have to be good rehydration because the price makes your eyes water so much.

    Tried the baby food this weekend.

    Apple and strawberry (Ella's) wasn't bad at all.

    Another brand in Tesco (banana, blueberry and vanilla) was Ok too.

    Not fully converted yet, but prepared to keep on trying.

    Easy to get down and no obvious or immediate after effects.

    Noticed a roast lamb dinner on the same shelf.
