But it amazes me how most fellrunners think they don't need to carry/arrange an energy drink to get the best performance in an AM.. carrying a bottle uphill is hardly much of an inconvenience. Who would claim to run their best Half Marathon without some gels/energy drink?
Interesting this... Ts'otleho always runs his half marathons off nothing.. and has pb's of 66 minutes and is probably in 64/65 shape but his last one was in humid windy conditions, he just swills water around his mouth.. doesn't even swallow as he thinks the signals are enough.

But we're both focusing on Berlin now and he's worried about having to eat, how to eat and when to eat as its so alien to him. He's got this big grudge on western food producers for programming our bodies to need sugar.. need breakfast..
