I woke up early this morning for my long run, as we needed to be somewhere by 9:00 am, so I set out at about 6:00 for the run. I had designed a good 8 mile course and enjoyed the run. There were some good hills and it was an overall good run.
During the run, I tested a new GU Gel for energy and really liked it, the only fear I have is the lag effect that a GU can bring. A GU Gel has a fast acting carb to help your energy recover quickly, the issue is it does not provide a long lasting effect. I am going to try fiber intense bars. I have heard they will take longer to stay in your system, allowing you to feed off of the energy they provide longer. We will see which one I like more.
Til next time...
