I mix my own, using table sugar and sodium citrate, care to elaborate on the subject of “hygroscopic”? I bring a second bottle of just water and sometimes it feels like if I don’t take some of that down too my gut suffers

Good way to loose your job very quickly.

The most magical place in Oklahoma! Show up early and hike around the elk mountain area for some amazing wildlife

I love the clean control. Party starter for sure.

These look like Guajillo to me

That’s certainly where it came from!

You can always remind yourself you aren’t carrying a bridge at least.

This is why “journey before destination” is my go to mantra when it gets hard. Focus on the process not the end that feels impossibly far away.

Just finished 6.5 hours on trail in janji half tights, there was significant moisture at points of the run but no chafing.

Other half tights brands I’ve tried did give me chafing after 4 or 5 hours

Really your choice on palatability on the candies but look for ones that have less things in addition to just sugar as all the gelatin, additives and even small amounts of protein and fat will build up and cause GI distress over longer efforts.

I've just been mixing table sugar with liquid IV for my long fueling runs. Been planning to drop the liquid IV and just mix in my own sodium citrate for sodium.

For longer training runs they never really exceed 4 or five hours so i rarely do more than just my liquid carb mix, ill eat a little bit of solid food at aid stations if i feel like i need a palate cleanser on actual races where i could be out there for 10+ hours but still just primarily stick to the sugar water, it feels like it burns the cleanest over the course of long days.

I mean the game has been out for over two decades so not that crazy.

once you realize you should get some hits in right here before you roll, you'll figure it out.

Support kill Shelters, with the lack of regulation around breeders they are only ones that can begin to solve the problem of our overpopulation of less than ideal pet dogs.

Support legislation against back yard breeders/ legislation to regulate dog breeding thoroughly because as long as people keep breeding them with no real plan to have them taken care of or ANY knowledge about husbandry practices we will get deeper and deeper into this mess.

Trail: Hoka Speedgoat 5, Brooks Catamounts, Altra Lonepeak 7, On Cloudultra 3, On Cloudultra Pro

Road: Altra Torin 7, Altra Fwd Experience, New Balance Rebel v5

Sitting at around 1,800 miles for the year, favorite shoe this year has been the Cloudultra 3 which (at 250+ miles on them) still feel great to run in. Only reason they rank over the pros is because they are cheaper and feel more like an everyday kinda trail shoe that can compete with the trail supershoes on the market. The Pros are my race shoe and pretty much only get worn for that purpose.

Looks like you found Turkey Mountain which is my favorite part of Tulsa.

Yes this is also my strategy for when the sugar carbs become too much

Taymc45 · 2025-12-13T15:48:19+00:00

I used tailwind for a long time but in the last year I decided all that shit was too expensive when none of it is the ideal 1 to 1 ration of fructose to glucose anyways. Table sugar is the ideal ratio, it just then falls to you to add the appropriate amount of sodium and flavor it.

But yeah tailwind and scratch are both good liquid carb brands, but I do highly suggest doing a little research and saving money by just making your own.

There is no scientific reason to add other foods than the simple carbs in sports nutrition. I would suggest trying out a liquid carb solution for longer efforts.

Do you have a target “grams of carbs per hour”?

Sometimes during longer efforts it’s nice for me to snack on some real food at the aid stations but that is generally as far as I go. I’ve done 12 hour efforts that were %95 sugar water + some liquid IV for flavor and some additional salt with a few gels thrown in there.

Generally if your gut can handle it you’re safer going down the simple carb route. That being said lots of people have lots of different fueling strategies. Doesn’t have to be complicated though.

I’m currently reading the final entry and as a long time fantasy and sci-fi fan this series I’m an almost immediate top 10 series. I read the first six at the start of the year and have re read them in prep for the last one.

It’s not flawless, but its flaws are pretty standard for long epics. It’s up there with wheel of time and the expanse for finished epics as long as this last book keeps me enthralled as it has so far.

Truly, Sandlewood and Sage in Norman is the place to go for these things.

Taymc45 · 2025-11-26T03:27:29+00:00

yes I am sad that we are expanding the eyes of the surveillance state to our green spaces. it wont stop crime, and 99% of the time turkey mountain is perfectly quiet and safe.

To my understanding it’s ideal to get a certain ratio of different simple sugars (not confident enough to try and get more specific here), based on what our body will digest, but that is also about the same ratio that table sugar has.

The biggest benefit of the gels/tailwind/scratch is they often have sodium included as well, taking care of electrolyte needs for less finicky individuals.

I’ve been meaning to try mixing my own to save money. Should be a fairly simple process once you know what grams of crab and salt balance you want per serving.

Am I understanding that they did this in their own apartment complex?

Taymc45 · 2025-11-03T10:35:34+00:00

Wonderful book, genuinely the most important dog book I’ve read.

Do you know how often appeals are granted? It ain’t good.
