How To Survive A Long Run Bonk (I Did It So You Don't Have To)

This week was a 50KM long run in 34 degree weather. A key workout as I set up for the Lost Soul Ultra 100KM Trail Race I'm running later this year. Things didn't go as planned but lessons were learned and mental toughness was levelled up.

I am just hitting double digits in my marathon build where I need to focus on hydration and nutrition. I tried Maurten gel. I find it super sweet. I ordered a couple individual gels from the feed to try. I am going to try the Maurten drink mix later this week.
Great work on the 50k 👊🏿

@@Runfast45 Good work on your training. I’ve tried the Maurten gels before and liked the taste it was just the texture that was different to me. Interested to hear how the drink tastes/works for you. 😎👍🏻

I have been using Skratch High Carb and Gu Roctane. I generally do not use gels but I carry a small soft flask with maple syrup in it.

@@BFF_Runner How do you like the GU roctane? Higher carbs I believe. I was looking at them yesterday to help on the hotter days.

[@BFF_Runner]

@@FUDNF The flavor in the GU Roctane is milder which I like. Also the carb load is not as aggressive as the Skratch High carb, which works better for me.

@@BFF_Runner awesome thanks!
