Todays run was just over 23 miles and quite an undulating route. I tried a new type of carb gel on this run as the liquid type I used on my last marathon made me feel sick, this carb gel is like blocks of jelly called Shot Bloks by Clif , they come in mountin berry or strawberry. Those are the basic ones, they have more flavours but have added caffine. You're supposed to take 3 blocks every hour, I took my first blok at 6 miles and one every 20 mins. It was a total supprise to me, there almost seemed to be an instant reaction, I could feel the extra energy, no doubt about it ! I glided round the route and even managed a sprint finish down my road !
