What are snacks I can pack for long (3-4 hour) training sessions?
Pack high carbohydrate, low fiber snacks to keep you fueled during long training sessions. Choose a combination of solid foods and fluids to meet both hydration and carbohydrate needs. Aim for 30-60 grams of carbohydrate every hour and replenish fluids at the rate of 5-10 ounces every 15-20 minutes. A combination of sports drinks, carbohydrate gels, energy bars, bagels or gingersnaps help meet your needs. Set your watch to beep every 15 minutes as a fluid and fuel reminder!
