1. While I would never recommend this as a good universal solution, I eat a ton of junk/crap food. The morning of a race, I will eat peanut butter chip pancakes and cream cheese coffee cake. Early in a race, i have a very high tolerance for sweet food. I eat M&Ms, dark chocolate, donuts, and more coffee cake. I'm going to experiment with ice cream during this stage, too. About mile 20, I can no longer tolerate the sweet stuff and switch to pizza, hot dogs, and bananas. About mile 50, I cannot tolerate pizza, so I stick with the hot dogs and bananas. I can also eat cold-cut sandwiches (ham & cheese, turkey, roast beef, etc.) and potatoes (usually hash browns). Beer, in moderation, also seems to work well here. I haven't gotten much past that point. As far as electrolytes, I can drink HEED all day. If I cannot tolerate that, I go to water and s-caps. I can also tolerate defizzed Coke, ginger ale, and chia fresca at any distance.
BTW- I don't usually eat this poorly in my day-to-day life.
2. Add me to the junk food list, plus coke and ginger ale. I still like my 2 double cheeseburgers from Mc Donalds before I start a long run.
Whoa!
