u/Brodsauce

Hi friends,

I’m running my first half marathon this weekend. For reference, I’m a 200lbs 6’2 dude who has lived in the gym up until 10 weeks ago.

I ran 10 miles two weeks ago but bonked at mile 8. During the run, I had 2 applesauce pouches. Not sure if it was the speed or the lack of in race nutrition.

Based on everything I’m seeing, I should be eating 6 pouches for the half but I really don’t want to carry that many.

What do you use? Or am I resigned to trying gels this late in the game?
