  • Yes, that's not going to work (sugar and grains) on an ultra. Fish oil would be easy to pop, though. They used to recommend it for various heart-related things but found it had negligible benefits so they don't any more, but not heard anyone say it was harmful.

  • Yeah, but unless its efficacy is proved I don't wanna faff with carrying a tub of fish oil around. I mean, is it going to make any noticeable difference compared to taking a paracetamol?
    Really what I should be doing is preventing these stupid injuries in the first place. I can't believe elastic has caused me so much drama in all these races. Socks, calf guards, now arm warmers, ffs. Maybe I should just go back to wearing torso covering stuff and using sunscreen.

  • That would have been a pretty aggressive strategy on RATN!

  • Who would have thought the elastic would dig so deep into all that fat?

    But seriously, a very annoying issue. I certainly have that issue with socks at times and I imagine I'd have the same problem on a very long ride.
