Ultra running is the dog's when it comes to food. I used to use SiS gels but prefer shotblox now. I agree though that there comes a point where too much sweet stuff is not good! I gobbled so many jelly babies in my first marathon that I actually can't eat them at all now. The very thought of them makes me barf

I tink Fleecy might have mentioned orange or satsuma segments which sound ideal but tricky to carry without squishing.
