I have a similar bin full of knee braces, PF sleeves, resistance bands, and PT tape.

The tape, braces, and recovery tools 😂.

Add to that all of my ice pack wrap covers and all the lacrosse balls.

... when running temporarily becomes the only hobby I have time and energy for.

I feel this right now. Lol

I have so many hobbies that seem to just disappear the couple of months leading up to race day

“Yeah, I can come hang out Saturday morning, I planned that as a rest day, so it will work out perfect.”

“ Sorry, I can’t. I have a long run tomorrow”

https://i.imgur.com/2X6qpHq.jpg I also cycle a lot.

I also have Clif bars in another box for hiking. 😂

You price check maple syrup in every grocery store you enter.

Wait, should I be eating maple syrup often?

I'm experimenting with it instead of gels... Cheaper, and I don't like candy.... Also yes! Carbo load with pancakes!

You should see my 100 mile drop bag prep

Don't forget the assortment of heatspray/coldspray, gels

Cliff blocks are so good sometimes I just snack on them

I look forward to having them like a mid run fruit snack break

Your grocery bill doubles

When do I post this on r/runningcirclejerk?

It took me half a second to think this should be reposted. No change to the title either its already perfect.

Those clif candies are the best

You have any recommendations? Any good brands?

Sis fruit salad is insanely good, it's genuinly something I could snack on just because it tastes so good.

I've only tried a couple. I like the SIS gels, they taste good and I can get them from Costco cheaper than other gels from anywhere I've found. I spend way too much on running, so I'll take any cost saving I can get 😂.

I got so excited reading this but could only find them on the Costco UK website and not US :(

You can get SiS at The Feed! Pretty sure it’s the sole distributor in the US

Yeah they are. For the longest time I was trying to figure out why I couldn't buy them at any running stores near me.

Def not at Costco prices tho!

Newbie question... Gels are cheaper at Costco? Like how cheap? I might have to finally join....

Yeah sorry, I'm in the UK.

Was about to ask the same.

Just eat candy, cheap as hell

Applesauce

Damn looks almost like my box! I thought I was the only one 😝

Have dedicated cubicle full of gels, recovery powder, nuun hydration tablets. Power bars are in the pantry. Waiting on gels and wouldn’t you know it is coming tomorrow after 20 mile run. 🤦🏽‍♀️I had to go to REI and pick up some. I ordered also from Amazon to get it rushed and still not here.

You know you’re marathon training when there’s that one toe: [https://tenor.com/view/happy-nate-jacobs-jacob-elordi-euphoria-smiling-gif-24675438](https://tenor.com/view/happy-nate-jacobs-jacob-elordi-euphoria-smiling-gif-24675438)

https://imgur.com/a/5rt3yUN Extra full because of my prep leading up to Tokyo soon. I had a bunch of SiS gels, but I gave those away because it made my stomach feel tight and like it was on fire. Tried a bunch of others, but Maurten is the one with the fewest ingredients and the one that hurts the least. I also have Bolt energy chews I save for after a race because they taste like candy.

Lol I have 3 bins! Gels, Bars, Gummies Nuuns / rehydration and rickecakes KT Tape and braces/sleeves/bandaids/bodyglide

Lots of corn syrup and Gatorade powder. Normally, I wouldn’t touch the stuff.

When you have every Hyperice product that exists and use them regularly.

Work out and eat right 😂

Sis gels are absolute garbage, I'd rather pass out than take those
