So I'm 80% on running a marathon in 11 weeks, but One thing holding me back is hydration and replenishing my glycogen/electrolytes etc during the marathon.
Everything i read is telling me to drink sports drinks, some have said to lose the goo, it doesn't help and can so absorption. But i know squat about this.
I am a Bakery by trade For (19 years) and have a unique job that allows me to make my own "sample" products from scratch. There is a personal trainer/ finess instructor that works part time in another dept, and we experiment with our own "cliff" bar type stuff. I also made a batch of Barley, chia, flax, almond whole grain bagels... they were awesome btw. great post race food.
anyway a little off topic.
but I was looking for a healthy alternative to sports drinks to replenish myself during a marathon. Now have run 2 1/2 hours with out food (or water) in cold conditions. the marathon is in May so i don't expect temperature to be an issue. the temp around that time of year is around +5 to +10 Celsius.
Maybe sports drinks are the only solution, but i find it hard to swallow...lol... get it
