I do similar with the pre hydration but during I use the Precision hydration tabs with course water.
Veloforte are scrumptious. Great product. Good luck!
All the best, Kieran!
Great info! Good luck 👍
Can’t wait to see how it goes
Good luck, and enjoy!
Super 💯💯
Great Vlog as always. I am wondering if any of those products are available for purchase in America?
Good luck! General question/suggestion on your videos Kieran, we always watch a mirror image. Could you not edit that?
what shoes you prefer for Comrades? Something more cushioned like - Brooks Ghost Max or NB 1080 or carbon?
I started to see your shoe choice for the South African marathon and I can't find it again... Link?
What shoes will you be wearing for the comrades marathon ? I am going to participate in our national road championship 100K and not sure about shoe choise yet
Good luck. Enjoy an incredible day. Can't wait to hear your experience. Might see you out there. I do a gel every 5K and a chew every 5K. Then I eat banana and oranges along the way as they have them there

I run for health, and as a diabetic in remission i’m not a fan of any refined sugars in any form. Still trying to figure out what’s the best fuel for my needs.

@@Seanonyoutube it’s oatmeal real fruit and almost butter. It’s the healthiest you’ll find. That was my point. And if you run less than 2 hours or under 13 miles you won’t need any of it. If you run for endurance or marathon races then it’s what your body needs to replenish
