Thank you Home Bargains for this excellent value pack of gels etc. I only went in there for a couple of gels.... and this pack was only £6.99 - couldn’t resist!

I had to do 4 HM distances during marathon training and was absolutely fine without anything, even drinks. However - that was me who was fine, I do not recommend it, we all should experiment. I did some research, tried a few things and my stomach simply didn't tolerate anything (Lucozade, jelly babies, protein bars, nothing). Given that l could not even contemplate attempting the marathon without refueling, l came across Tailwind nutrition, tried it a few times and have become a convert. Whatever they said on their packaging worked for me.
It’s going to be hot for me and I’ll need electrolyte to keep going with a gel or two after 15k, but couldn’t resist stocking up!
