I have bought High 5 Iso energy gels (citrus); one for each day spent on the hill. I decided to go for just one per day because if I gulp down any more than this, it is likely to make me queasy (especially after 11 days!!) I've already tried lots of different energy gels in road and fell races past, prefering the more liquidy and less fluorescent looking ones. I plan to save my one gel for the 'low point' of each day and supplement it with good old fashioned jelly babies (and Haribo Tangfastics - my personal favourite!!)
For hydration I am going to stick with diluted pure orange juice (tried and tested).
For general sustinence I will probably just make a basic packed lunch (something like jam sandwiches, pepperamis and flapjacks etc...) Something vaguley filling.
In the evenings I will do my best to replenish my energy levels by eating LOADS AND LOADS!!! Certainly plenty of carbohydrate to rebuild glycogen stores and protein for recovery.
I am looking forward to this bit!!!!!
