sburens

I bought some GU for my next long run. The package says to eat one 15 mins before and then every 45 mins. Do you typically eat one before the run? I never heard to eat one before you start.

I don't usually use mine until I feel I need it. Sometimes as early as 5km in and sometimes not until after 10km or more! I go by how I feel. Hungry and weak in the legs I grab a gu!
