CLIFF BARS & PURE PROTEIN BARS
Hello all-
So now that I am working on increasing the distance of my runs, and planning a 10K in April and June, and a Half by end of the year, I have a question about re-fueling.
I see people use CLIFF bars. They have a great deal of sugar (some 25 to 30g.). If you are a dumper, do these make you dump?
For a protein bar, I use Pure Protein, with 2 g. sugar and 20 g. protein. But from what I hear, the carbs, etc. in CLIFF bars are better for fueling during a long run/race. The sugar/molasses/ etc. as the first few ingredients kind of freak me out a bit.
Your thoughts, experiences, suggestions appreciated!

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Also, there is a big difference between just throwing up and dumping. I throw up dry chicken and turkey, but don't feel like I am dumping. I have dumped 1 time since surgery, and IT IS ABSOLUTE MISERY...

Now I'm limited to a spoonful that my son is willing to share with me.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

I have also had success with the sports beans because I can regulate 1 or 2 at a time and they give me a little boost the body can readily burn while on a longer run. And I like they are easier and less messy to handle during a run than the gels. Geesh those gel things are sticky if you get them on your hands.
Thats my 2 cents,..hope it helps.
