I believe u r a good source for us in this forum as u mentioned u compete in state and national level swimming competition, and also a competitive short distance runner. V definitely hope to get some tips from you in terms of speed training and for those into Tris then the tips on how to improve in swimming will be of beneficial.
Again you must understand that long distance running can be a little different from those sports you are engaged in where energy are distributed across a span of long hours like from 1hr to almost 6hrs (if one is slow in running a 42k). Short distance running are more on burst of speed, and swimming will really depends if one is a sprinter or long distance one. Even if its long distance it wont be anything more than an hour. So the usage and distribution of energy is very different. Food and supplement for recovery may or may not differ. Anyway I am more than interested to hear from you and your point of view.
As someone said, this is not a forum to bash each but more to learn from each other strength and correct the mistake as it comes along. Hope to hear more contri from u.
cheers
Yes, food and supplement for recovery actually differs on individuals, gender, how much work out etc. Everything differs on individuals. Yea, I understand that

Go run 20km and compete
Every individual is different and both your forte and experience is ..i m sure u knw different..
runners do nt equate to swimmers, swimmers do nt equate to runners.. plz dun tell me nw u did biathlon or triathlon..
You could say "power" = improve performance
but i wudn't, reason being you think of it as helping you to run faster or something.. i m looking it from a point of view where it is used just to help you complete the race, see the diff?
i do not think you will if you have yet to consume a gel just to complete a certain distance..
do share if you have ran 15km, 20km or even marathon (i meant 42km and not 5km)
Yes. Runners do not equate to swimmers and swimmers do not equate to runners. Wanted to do triathlon once I phailed cuz no1 teman me
power = improve performance
help you complete the race = power
if no gel = can't complete the race?? No I never think that the gel can actually help to run faster, that wud be foolish. Boost of confidence, yea.
Ok you got me there. I was asked to join 10km runs and 15km. But didn't go in the end.

Let me clear the air here a little.
I am very sure euphoria meant this:
Powergels/bars etc, in her experience, bring no benefit in her ex-competitive sports.
Eg: 5km runs and swimming
Just note this euphoria:
The guys here are talking about the benefits of powergels in LONG distance running.
Eg: >10km runs.
Please read before just posting. Not to flame but have noticed that you post things before you actually read and understand all the replies. For example in the bodybuilding forum. i was like ??? when u just out of the blue post something without reading the previous replies or understanding what the people actually meant.
Yea I know what it means. But seriously, don't tell me you believe power gel can actually let you run non stop 42km if u take it. If u don't you can't even past the 5km mark. I am saying that power gel is actually good for recovery after certain work outs or competition, not during.
In bodybuilding I don't know where to start so I replied the posts that I can reply.

Aaaah,
dun tell me she use to pump iron too
typical spammer syndrome? we get that alot around here
No I don't pump irons. Often. I do hit the gym once/twice per week as it is required for workout for competitions. Whatever you wanna say.

Ah
18 minutes of course no need water. Try 1 hour 40 minutes
I tried once, 1 hour 30 mins w/o water, running non stop for training in a hot weather with no shades. I was fine untill I stopped for 5 mins or so, I consume water. I took the wrong choice. I should not consume water untill after I cooled down. I got giddiness after the water went down my throat. I tried ice water. Doesn't work. In the end I need to cool down by running around the field to get rid of that.
