Does your body not produce them from food? Are you trying to say supplements donāt work?

So if thatās true youāve gone out of your way to deny me the placebo effect also ā¦ whatās your problem here that you want to stop me reaching my goals?
add this to your running playlist. itll knock 10 secs off per KM, a real placebo effect

Iād say you sleep very well at night.
I donāt have much appetite to go much further than 8km to be honest. Thereās a nice 8km loop by my house which Iām making use of.
Iām more interested in building a little bit of short distance speed. So Iām working in the area of sprints, multiple 1km runs, 5km runs and 8km runs. Layering in some cycling with that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
do the 8km loop twice?
I could do longer runs than 8km. I just donāt think theyāre really in line with what Iām trying to achieve.
Saving the full 10 miler for next weekend. I did 11.25km and 13.2km/70 minutes over the last 2 weeks so plan today was to do 80 minutes in building up to 10 miles. But I was happy with 9 miles in the end and will just give the Great Limerick Virtual Run a rattle next weekend. Itās great value: ā¬20 to enter plus a ā¬1.90 registration fee plus ā¬5 postage and packaging for your T-shirt & medal. And ā¬5 of that ā¬26.90 goes to a charity you can nominate from a list of 10. The rest of the money goes to much needed and respected local promotional, advocacy and tourism bodies such as Limerick Chamber of Commerce, Limerick Tourism and Stab City Walking Tour.

if you want to reach your goals the below is all the supplement you need:
- Cement, one cup of.
A lot of people mix coke and water. Just need to be careful itās dilute enough. Too much sugar will kill you on a run. Id look more at water and salt or electrolyte, bit again, mix it weak, and eat
Thatās a great effort. Iām off to Strava to repeat this statement.

Get a bottle of lucozade sport or one of those kinds of drinks, pour half it out and refill with water.
These are delicious, really, some of the nicest sweets Iāve ever had.
Useful for a little pick me up, high carb content as well
Well done @Bandage you continue to boss this

Popped into the local Holland and Barrett there and theyāve a poor enough selection. But everything they have is laced with caffeine. Picked up a few jelly beans to try them anyway.
Would you have the sweets as youāre going out the door or slip 3 or 4 into the flipbelt?
Iāve only ever used the sweets on runs longer than 2 hours. I was out for 3 hours a few weeks back, and I took one at about 80 mins, another at 2 hours, and the final one at about 2 hours 30.
When I did my lockdown mountainy marathon back in October, I was out for 5 hours 20.
I drank I would say about 1.5L of water (I carried 3 x 500 mls and 1 x 250ml). I think I ate about 4/5 sweets and took maybe 3 gels. I attempted a bit of a Snickers on one of the climbs but it just didnāt agree with me.
With all of these things, itās trial and error.
Lads would ye cop the fuck on. Ye are making a very simple activity very complicated. Just head out the door and run.
