Somehow my response wasn't included in this post, but to summarize - I've only run one marathon, I was very disappointed in it, and I ran it must faster than what you mentioned.

Show me someone that has OTQ'ed wearing a fanny pack and I will reconsider.

Like that's a high bar. Anyways, this is close enough:

2.pin gel to waistband.
3.tuck gel into waistband.
4.use the $40 you saved not buying fancy shorts on male escort.

Hobby Jogger alert.
How does this make someone a hobby jogger? Everyone needs to take some kind of fuel during a marathon - obviously elites get bottles on the course, but not all marathons will provide that to anyone.
You just answered your own question. Only hobby joggers carry their own gels because elites get bottles on the course.

Pansy, real men use their skin as opposed to their waistband.

this is so not true.
if you need to use Gels during a marathon, you are under trained for the event.
cheers.
Look into raceready shorts. I think they might have exactly what you are looking for.
Here is what I use:
Single rear zip pocket is large enough to hold 6 gels.
On my run today I had 2 peices of ID, my cell phone, and 3 gels in the pocket comfortably.

Not again oO, we already went through that nonsense and disproved it.

how did you disprove it?
I remember someone asking me to explain my reasoning, and when I did he went away.
no one had any specific comments that disproved what I said.
cheers.
Can't remember if it was you or someone else started using some vo2 max figures which were both wrong and inapplicable.

So Kipchoge is undertrained? Interesting.

do you have any evidence that he actually uses Gels in a marathon?
cheers.

Not sure if serious. His use of Muarten has been well publicized. Of course as an elite, he gets his pre-mixed in a bottle. Are you saying that if you're well-trained you'll be an elite and get the bottles and not have to carry gels? Is that what you mean by saying if you need gels you're undertrained? Because ~every top marathoner takes fuel during a marathon.

You can dig out photos of him drinking them if needed.
