I love Watermelon candy kittens .... mmmmm
I ran the Exmoor marathon with an amazing lady that had 2 cheese and onion pasties, sandwiches, fruit and skittles... the pasty was a step too far for me...
One of the things that appeals to me about endurance sports is the eating training - must add cheese and onion pasties to the list... 
she was amazing, she had run 62 marathons including the Marathon Des Sables...so she knows her stuff. She taught me loads about hydration etc as well...
Wow, that is hardcore, I love it! I reckon the Marathon des Sables is too rich for my blood, but I was looking at this video about the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc the other day omg...
One of the youtubers I watch did UTMB this year, it looks great! I want to get a marathon in this year if possible. Havent tried running and eating yet as only up to HM distance. Did my first HM distance yesterday 
Good stuff - how did you feel?
wow well done you
Mars Bars get my vote, although I am experimenting with home-made energy balls at the moment. Will be reporting soon I am so over gels...
Banana before and Clif Bars after a run!
So far I've only ran up to 9k, so haven't felt the need to eat during a run yet.
I've started to realise that I need something on longer runs now. I've tried jelly babies - yuk, too sweet and sticky; dates - um, a bit too sugary (although I love dates normally); jelly beans - yuk, same as jelly babies; flapjack-y things - yuk, too dry and sticky, I nearly choked.
I've settled on Clif Shok Bloks - don't know how you spell them, but I really like them. They're like eating squares of jelly but not as tough or as sweet

Hi 5 Iso Gels Citrus Plus with Caffeeine
Outside of the marathon, sugary energy drinks are enough for me. I really don't like carrying things while I run.
I never eat when running, just drink water if it is a long one, but my fave end of run snack would be a flap jack, or banana.
I've usually run with an energy bar. Now I'm transitioning to gels and jelly babies. I drink regular water.
Pre-run it's always dried fruit and nuts. I wouldn't eat anything whilst running under 15 miles. For long runs I use science in sport gels as they're less sweet than most gels and I'm not keen on real food whilst running.
It's got to be bananas (cut into halves if necessary). The skins are a bit of a pain to hang onto until you pass a rubbish bin, but they hit the spot.
jelly babies please
