I have been advised by my online coach in Hungary to consume exactly 1 gel every 3 miles, so have guesstimated that to mean I need to carry 15 or so.... This seems about right from previous experience and I have no reason to doubt him..
He also is a wrestling coach at his sons school in Kaposszekcso so really seems to know what he is talking about what with there being much of an overlap in terms of training and nutrition methods. He also suggested I fill my bidon with straight squeezed lemon juice to help the stomach settle...
