When on my bike, I do well with Clif Luna bars and Gatorade. But as it gets warmer, the coating on the top of those gets messy. Drat! And for running, water and powerbar gel (strawberry banana) seems to work for me. I've added in Clif bloks occasionally with mixed results.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-39200768088087564732007-05-28T08:57:00.000-06:002007-05-28T08:57:00.000-06:00We have the other 80% of your humidity here in Hou...We have the other 80% of your humidity here in Houston. Thanks for that.<BR/><BR/>If you're experimenting, give e-gels from Cranksports a try. They are 150 calories per packet instead of 100 and they have tons of electrolytes. When I use e-gels, I typically can take water instead of sports drink. I get enough electrolytes, and I avoid the sour stomach I used to get late in races.greyhoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177698669715595307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-88054020170625300892007-05-27T19:14:00.000-06:002007-05-27T19:14:00.000-06:00I've heard Nuun with carbo pro is the way to go - ...I've heard Nuun with carbo pro is the way to go - Nuun has no calories, carbo pro tastes like nothing.the Dread Pirate Rackhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758895507726373202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-86591506078101345542007-05-27T06:34:00.000-06:002007-05-27T06:34:00.000-06:00Waddler, Firat you have the graph open and looking...Waddler, Firat you have the graph open and looking the way you want it.

If you got cramps, that's probably why. The sucrose doesn't absorb as well as maltdextrine, which is the leading sugar in most of the better energy drinks. Some people can tolerate it fine, others, not so much, and for endurance sports, I don't take any chances.Herself, the GeekGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990186920123895227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-55699794760866006262007-05-26T18:43:00.000-06:002007-05-26T18:43:00.000-06:00This is a fascinating subject for me as a still re...This is a fascinating subject for me as a still relative beginning - I've just now started adding energy drinks instead of water (I've been using Gu for a while.) I cramped up today for the first time (my longest workout yet, leading up to my first triathlon next weekend) - not sure if it had anything to do with the gatorade or not!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482678629267009052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-40351086015687447392007-05-26T18:15:00.000-06:002007-05-26T18:15:00.000-06:00Oooo, nice morning running weather!Oooo, nice morning running weather!Brent Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754659334435107746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-31625221940092304932007-05-26T15:16:00.000-06:002007-05-26T15:16:00.000-06:00I'm just now starting to use better nutrition on r...I'm just now starting to use better nutrition on races - all Acclerade gels, btw - and just knowing that it would be very hard to take in too many calories for a long effort for me, a Clydesdale - for the most part, I've got a iron stomach. <BR/><BR/>I really don't mess with gels for efforts under 2 hrs. Carb drinks are enough for me. If it's goin to be a long day, I pack in the gels and drink as much water and gatorade type drink as I can. And LOTS of endurolyte tablets. The more sodium and electrolytes, the better for me, cause I cramp very easily.<BR/><BR/>Good luck figuring out what works for you. I think I remember reading once that your carb stores are good for 2 hrs max, so gels probably have a minimal effect for that distance/time.

I sweat like no other human, so I never feel that sloshy feeling (unless I really drink a lot on therun) but as I put the calories/carbs in, I notice a big difference in energy. I think it all is just a big experiment for everyone and once you figure it out, you just go with it. I have the same Garmin. They are AWESOME for training.bigmike600https://www.blogger.com/profile/16361310260625492679noreply@blogger.com
