Hello! I have a question about nutrition so I thought that I would drop it here. I’m a heavier runner (48 years old, 190 lbs, 5’6″, female) training for my next half marathon this spring and first full marathon in October 2024. I have only been running for 1 year and have completed 2 half marathons fueled with a pack or two of Welch’s fruit snacks and a granola bar. I want to switch over to gels but I’m very concerned about the amount carbs most are consuming during long runs (every 30-45 minutes). Do heavier runners need to have a gel this often? I feel like I have enough fat (not being funny; but it is kinda) stored that my body can go a little longer than most. I’m on the course for about 2 hours:40 minutes for a half marathon and I typically feel the need to eat something at about 6 miles and again at about mile 10-11. Any feedback that you can provide would be appreciated.
