Easy on the stomach

I've been trying a few different things on long runs to try to reduce intestinal-upset issues that happen beyond 15 or 16 miles into the run. Last Friday I ran 20.7 miles and had a very successful run. Breakfast was peanut butter on a piece of wheat toast. During the run I started with a hand-held bottle of POWERade and then switched to water. Every hour I took an S! Cap and twice I took 3 Clif Cran Razz Shot Bloks. That combination worked for me that day and I'll try it again next Friday on my final 20-miler before the Twin Cities Marathon.
