Alamak the iherb creatine powder oos. Can't find any energy gel there.

Any recommendation on energy gel from 过来人s? Brand and flavour? So far see GU and SiS quite popular. 

I have never taken before but plan to take for the race. Like 1 per hour? Heard it's very sweet and too much of it can lead to LS.

I took those given in the race pack previously. 

Yes too much, or not use to new type will LS 😅. Better trial during practice run to gauge if it matches your gut... before actual race day.

I will try honey stinger that inline6 recommended since it's honey basically and taste should be good.

I do feel a boost from the energy drink at water stations during hm. As for struggling the last few km, my theory is that the body was too stressed to process whatever you ate.

Better don't mix isotonic drinks with gels and banana.....

I still remember my 1st FM，alternate isotonic then water station, then 4  gels, 1 x every 10km....

Felt nauseated after banana and water at 29km.....😅,  not sure because too much mixes....

Think he explains well the importance of having high mitochondria density and quality. By improving the quality and higher density of Mitochondria we can be burning fats more efficiently and clearing of lactate faster. This how exercise in zone 2 training makes us metabolic flexible. Improve insulin sensitivity too, hence protective against alot of metabolic disease such as diabetes.
