Are there any sub-3 runners out there who carry small amounts of their own fluids because they perform best taking in something other than Gatorade or water late in the race? Hammer products, for example?

there was that russian guy who raced olympic marathon 2004 with a fuel belt.
I dispise the word fuel for, some reason.
I know it's irrational but I despise it nonetheless.

No, I do too, and it is mainly becasue it is such a triathlete word. My body is a machine and it needs fuel.
Also because the majority of people using "fuel" are overweight folks who have enough fuel on their flabby asses to last the next year.
I heard this guy named Waldemar used to.
Okay, call it something else, but your muscles will perform better in a race longer than a 10k if you give them some extra energy during the race. If you don't "refuel" your body during long efforts, then you're losing out on performance due to your pride or ignorance.
I have never heard of a fast marathoner that doesn't carry his own fluids, bodily fluids are crucial to proper functioning:
Amniotic fluid (only pregnant marathoners).
Aqueous humour.
Bile.
Cerumen (also known as earwax).
Cowper's fluid (also known pre-ejaculatory fluid and only male marathoners and ultra-chicks).
Chyle
Chyme .
Interstitial fluid.
Lymph.
Menses.
Breast milk (only with female marathoners and Wejo).
Mucus (including snot and phlegm).
Pleural fluid.
Pus.
Saliva.
Sebum (skin oil).
Semen (only male marathoners).
Serum.
Sweat.
Tears.
Urine.
Vaginal lubrication (only with female marathoners and SpongeBob).
Vomit.
Feces (while not generally classed as a body fluid, are often treated similarly to body fluids, and are sometimes fluid or semi-fluid in nature).
Internal body fluids, which are not usually leaked or excreted to the outside world, include:
cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord.
synovial fluid surrounding bone joints.
intracellular fluid is the fluid inside cells.
Blood and blood plasma.
aqueous humour and vitreous humour the fluids in the eyeball.
what about fastet runner to have exchanged bodily fluids during a race??
I guess that could be done easily by one runner spitting into the mouth of another. Cool. I'll try it at this weekend's race.
Shut up.
Can't do that, moron.
