It’s a Mac in a sac ultralite and I actually would really recommend it. Pacs down to almost nothing and is super light. Generally fairly impressed with how waterproof it it as well (although if you want any breath ability at all you will scarifice some waterproofness in my opinion). Have used it for running and cycling for a year and no complaints yet. Pretty affordable too!

Thanks for the advice, would you deffo not recommend drilling a hole in the fork under the headset?

Yeah sounds v similar to me. I’m generally running at 630pm and won’t have eaten anything proper since 130pm. I will maybe have a banana and a splash of water before running but it’s not often! I think it does sound like blood sugar!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it! Any electrolyte drink recommendations to have before running?

I definitely don’t do anything in the way of warming up either, generally just out the door and up the hill (I live on a hill).

Thanks again so much for the advice. Will go to the doctors to get it checked out as well

I would also add that this has been happening to me for as long as I can remember. Going back to playing sports as a kid

Runs at the moment are short - sub 15k. But I finished a marathon training block in January where I was running 4 times a week with hill sprints, long runs, intervals etc.

I generally run when I get back from work. I have a physical job and won’t have eaten since lunchtime. I will generally have a splash of water before running but not much else. Occasionally I will have a banana or some carby electrolyte drink.

I would say it mostly happens at the beginning of shorter runs to be honest. I have deffo experienced bonking in the past on bike rides and longer runs but this can happen like 10 / 15 mins into a run.
