I like your variation!
When you're going all day you get a bit sick of sweet things all the time. I like a bit of variation and often a savoury after taste is a nice distraction.
Sorry to hear about your hip, take a few days off running and see how it feels before easing back into easy runs. Hopefully just over exerted something.
If you're on facebook there is a group called Ultra Running Community which has lots of good info, might be worth checking out.

Awesome, thanks for this (and sorry - just saw it!). Did a pre-breakfast 30k run yesterday fuelled by bananas. Definitely need to start experimenting with different food though. I like your variation! Not sure if it’s because I knew I was nearing the end or not, but I felt like I was starting to bonk at about 28km so probably need to eat a bit more regularly..
Also, my left hip joint now feels like it’s been filled with sand and I’m limping around today - definitely more than a niggle!! Has anyone got any good tips for hip stretches/can tell me why it might feel so awful? Don’t want to destroy my body too soon into my RTTS training.
