Completed a Ultra-Trail Australia 100k over the weekend, I was getting pretty bored of my usual race fuel, so went with a few Vegemite sandwiches at roughly halfway in the race. Picked up the pace to finish in under 20hours
Mario mentioned fueling every 20-30 mins. I am curious what he would do on a road race in comparison. I am adjusting my fueling from road to trail. I tried UCAN recently for my first marathon and trail race after seeing on TRE. Love the electrolyte powder. It worked sooo much better than Gatorade and better on my stomach as well. Thanks TRE and UCAN!
I don't get why people carry stuff on their hands. Sure, you get the thing that slides in nicely, but from a inertial standpoint.... I'd rather the mass be closer to, well, my center of mass and not at one of my extremities.
Ha. Coach Nate has an unfortunate history of over-doing gels in his early days. He now avoids them like the plague in favor of blocks, beverages, and bars! Burgers too... ;-)
Nate & The Run experience. Please ask Ucan to come out with a isotonic running gel with electrolytes Thank you! Happy Running and happy trails be safe. : )
Sorry about this! You can manually enter code TREUCAN to get rid of the shipping charge. It should autopopulate if you visit generationucan.com/tre but it's not working for some people
I think people over complicate the nutrition side of things. Eat a good meal the day before and run fasted. It's more efficient. When your used to it you can cover 30-40km without eating. Nut butters over gels in my opinion. Those gels are nasty on the stomach

Vegemite ftw!
Why would you do that to yourself
wow, he happens to fuel for ultras using products provided by the sponsor of the video. what a coincidence!

Thanks
Brand of handheld / soft flask?
Salomon. I think many of the big brands sell something similar.
Ian Loughead thanks for the reply. I currently use a Nathan one - it isn’t soft flask but it does hold all my gels. Salomon pocket doesn’t look as big
...that one looks the Clutch from Ultimate Direction...
I’m now wondering what flavour(s) of gel Nate does actually like! Apple definitely is a flavour that SiS does, but not sure if you get them in the US.

SPRING offers an all natural energy gel in an apple flavor that I’m hooked on. Apple sauce consistency too. Easy on the stomach all day.
I drink a bottle of double whipping cream half way through an ultra for a boost of calories 🚀

Like here for the dog. Great info though.
Nora is always the star!

Went to order the UCAN but there's a $5.95 shipping charge...

I was looking for personal opinion, not who is paying you.
Ultra and heroine are two of the unhealthiest things in world
