S swears by Blox and Heed powder for his long distance biking. And the goo stuff. And 400 - 600 mg of liquid-gel Ibuprofen about 30 min prior to the start.
The Blox are vegetarian, I know for sure, but I'm not sure about the Heed.
It made a HUGE difference for him just in his body's ability to pass The Bonk or The Blow Up.
Since they've decided that I need to train for a 150mile bike ride, too, I'll be trying it soon.
But most definitely you need to look at your mid-run nutrition, electrolytes and fluid.
They do a minimum of 12 oz of fluid with Heed powder (20 if they're not feeling like vomiting from the heat) per 30-60 minutes here... but it's 95 degrees with 80-95% humidity.
I know when they were calculating for running, it was similiar.
There are a number of other mini-bar bite things that will help you keep going. Good luck!
