FUEL & HYDRATION FOR MY 100KM RACE | Everything I'm eating

Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

There's been very little running this past week thanks to a nasty infection, but in prep for the Silva Lakes Traverse 100km race in just over a week's time, I thought I'd talk you through everything I'll be taking with me for fuel & nutrition during the race (complemented by aid station snacks of course!).

It'll be a really tough day out and I'm absolutely terrified, thanks to months of broken training, but I'm there to have fun, and I'm also super excited to get out and enjoy the scenery!! It'll be beautiful.

Good luck, the Lake District is one of my favourite places alongside the Peak District, your right having fun is the main thing, your so inspiring, go and smash it. 😀

My advice would be, eat as much normal food as possible, the things you're used to and go easy on the high sugar things. I have seen so many people throwing up on the utmb because they eat too much sugar, too many gels. I would also steer clear of hot food at the aid stations, simply because it's different to what you're used to. So many people are sick after the noodle soup. Stick to your own thing. There is no need to be rigid about every 45 minutes, go with the flow. It's more important to stay hydrated. All the best💪

I really enjoy snacking on dates whilst I’m running. 👍 and when it’s not too hot raspberry ruffles are great but would soon melt on a sunny day 😫

I am so excited to see the 100km vlog!!! Good luck! So excited for you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[debrascott]

All the best! Can't wait for the race report!

Inspiring stuff! Good luck with it all and remember to enjoy it! Eager to see the post-race YT Vid 🙂

Tailwind is insane.... I used it last year in the Xterra Trail Marathon Snowdonia.... and I didn't take any jells... Great stuff in a 27 mile trail run - as it was a hot day I carried extra powder for water stations and I refilled 4 times ~ good luck Flora
if you are low on water and pass a grave yard strangely enough 90% of graveyards have a water tap for watering flowers etc.... just a thing I found on long runs!!!

Best of luck Flora! Fans from the 🇺🇸 will be rooting on you. Get It! #justgoplay

[Kelly_Ben]

Good luck, I'm so excited for you!! I hear you on the pizza and running. I honestly run happiest when I have something heavy, but not too spicy or acidic, in my stomach. Looking forward to the video! Go smash it!

Best of luck. It's inspiring that anyone is tackling a 100km! Enjoy it even though its probably gonna hurt a lot!

[timeonfeet]

All the best with the race Flora. Sounds like you've got a solid ultra picnic planned!

[heids]

No doubt you can do this Flora! Tailwind is really good, I can also recommend the berry and tropical flavours 😊

[gwilymeades]

I really like, and am inspired by, the fact that you are focusing on food and nutrition for your first 100km. This is definitely the right focus and, for me, it's the approach I'll take to my own first 100km non-stop in July. Some great food suggestions here! Thank you!

[jaseinclee]

Am sure you'll do great Flora, even with very little training. Good luck and enjoy it! It'll be in nice landscape as usual

[adamosman]

I was watching this as I cooked my pasta yesterday, very engrossed, didn't notice I'd turned the wrong hob on and melted my bloody phone! The case saved it luckily. Great Video Flora, good luck for the race!

[iberiksoderblom]

You are strong and competent, but remember that 100K is another beast!

[manuel_]

Like and good luck, Flora. Let's goooo. A nice weekend for everyone. 🌞🏃⛰️

[brittanykopke]

You’ve got this Flora!! The hay is in the barn as they say.

[paulakalosttime]

All the best for the race Flora. I think getting race-day nutrition dialled in can be very tricky. I use Tailwind and try to eat 'normal' food at aidstations. My last 100 miler back in October I got things just right. Tailwind in the flasks, GU gels about every half hour plus the food from aidstations which was sandwiches, nuts, fruit. At 50 miles and 75 miles I had a pot of instant mash and some rice pudding.
Look forward to seeing the race pan out for you 💪💪. Go smash it.

I might do this race next year after hearing about all the vegan food in the aid stations 😄Good luck Flora! ❤
