the fueling math that got me through my first 100k
real numbers from my own race log, not a generic nutrition chart you'd find anywhere

1
Maurten Gel 100, one every 45 min for the first 6 hours
the 0.8:1 fructose:glucose ratio is why my stomach didn't riot at hour 8, test this in training first
2
Tailwind Endurance Fuel in the bottles
sips constantly, this is where most of my hourly carbs actually came from not the gels
3
SaltStick caps, one per hour after mile 20
4
flat coke at aid stations after mile 40
sugar AND caffeine AND it's the one thing that still tastes good when everything else feels like paste. carbs are the sport at that point
5
boiled potatoes with salt, aid station 5
real food saved my race. gels stop working psychologically way before they stop working physically
6
GU Roctane for the last 15 miles
extra caffeine kick, saved for when i actually needed it not the whole race
