I started to run this January, without any previous running experience (though I have been an enthusiastic long distance walker/swimmer for two decades). My running program is 3x6k tempo runs, 1x8k interval and a long run (10 miles) every week. I run the 6k-s, 8k early morning without eating anything, only drinking half glass water. I do not have food before my long run either, only the half glass water, but have 2 cups of Gatorade (means 220 mg Sodium, 60 mg Potassium, 28 gr Carb) during the 2 hours. Meanwhile I always have more bottles with me, somehow I do not want more. No after run carb load either, only a high protein breakfast, and plenty of pure water. I feel full of energy ( I run the 10 miles in my 83-87 MHRT zone) AND I already lost 32 lbs, despite of my slowing metabolism, at age 46.
I train for a half - marathon, it seems I do not need any more for the 12 miles either.
I would recommend the diluted Gatorade too...
To drink 2-3 quarts pure Gatorade - the amount you can easily loose during a longer exercise would be an LC killer.
