Fueling for the trails is an art of "little and often." Unlike road running, the variable intensity of trail terrain means your digestive system is under constant flux, making a consistent intake strategy vital to avoiding the dreaded "bonk."

Hydration is the Foundation
Don't wait until you're thirsty. Aim for small sips every 10–15 minutes. In the South African heat, water alone isn't enough—ensure you’re replacing electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to prevent cramping and maintain fluid balance.

Fueling for the Long Haul
For runs lasting over 90 minutes, aim for 30–60 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Whether you prefer gels, chews, or real food like dates and salted potatoes, the key is to test your gut during training. Pro tip: Use the flatter, less technical sections to eat so you can focus 100% on your footwork when the trail gets rocky.

Listen to your body—if you feel your energy dipping, you’ve likely waited too long. Stay ahead of the curve to keep those legs moving strong until the finish line!
