Organised races are easy as they are provided at aid stations. My normal saturday run is usually my longest and is the one where calorie intake is needed. I've tried different solutions including carrying it all with me. Now I tend to park the car 'in the middle' of my run. Then I'll just do 2 hour loops from the car. The main item needed is water as its easily possible to carry enough calorie and electrolytes with you. I'm also currently living in Western Australia where is normally just hot and there isnt much water on the trails. If you are interested in running nutrition (or any endurance nutrition) I wrote about a presentation I went on a few months ago http://justrunning.net/2012/09/the-steve-born-seminar-15-simple-ways-to-improve-your-athletic-performance-right-now/ http://justrunning.net/2012/09/the-steve-born-seminar-15-sim...
