I agree with wib that McDonald's are not good- it's crap

Far better things to fuel on

I really don't like Mcds or Burger King or any fast food. My daughter rarely goes there- I just don't think of it as food- it's total junk

Pizza hut on the other hand is great for fuelling on

rofl T2 - i have a feeling that the calorific value of one of their Deep Pans would be more than what Michael Phelps eats in a day

Remind me nearer the time and will try and sort a pizza for you if you want! Although 50 miles you should be fine on a handful of gels

gels for 50 miles I'm taking a cheese and chutney baguette with me next weekend, yum yum!!!

Gels.....ugh. Like supping on superglu! Couple of sandwiches at various points will be better. You might even get Loula to provide some fruitcake

Touie - I find it hard to digest too much when running hard so gels are perfect for me up to 50 miles. At Caesar's camp I just ate a shot blok roughly every 15 mins.

I guess it means you don't have to carry as much and can run faster! At my pace i could probably consume a 3 course meal on the go

Haha. Yeah it was ideal I just ran with a handheld and one packet of shot blocks at a time. Swapped them over for a new one every 10 miles.

Wib - it'd be a death march for me on gels for 50 miles

for me the fun is looking forward to what I'm gonna eat the whole way

my incentive is the meal at the end... nothing like a full english cooked breakfast to refuel those dead cells

loulabell

I am good at cooked breakfasts

WiB

07/01/2013 at 08:01
