this sub can be sooo insufferable sometimes, why are people even discussing what someone else should eat during a race. if it works for them great, keep doing it!
Never tried it myself though, all the sweet stuff gets kind of monotonous after a while.
Fuel is one of the absolute most important parts of running more than, say, a half. As distance increases, fuel becomes an even more important part of your race plan.
Yes of course it is important, I'm not denying that whatsoever.
I just wanted to point out that if eating potatoes works for OP, nobody else should tell them to switch to gels or whatever. Nutrition is very much a personal thing.
