It would be nice to know something more about:
1. Your everyday diet and your diet before and after the race?
2. Do you have some stomach trouble during the race? If yes, how do you deal with it?

1. I follow a low carbohydrate, starch and gluten diet and consume more ‘good’ fats and proteins such as nuts, avocados, salmon and seeds. I also try to minimise the dairy. I find this really helps to keep my weight and menstrual cycles regular.
2. I am lucky that I dont suffer with stomach ache or nausea during races. However, I havent been further than 10.5hrs running yet. I did find during the later stages of adventure races it was hard to get in the amount of food I needed, so I drank high caloric drinks. I use MULEbar energy, protein and gels. They are all natural and maintain energy for a long time. My favourite is the chocolate and fig.
