get used to fuelling more
or at least more regularlyon a half marathon I take a gel every 20mins, which is probably a bit more than I absolutely need, but I'd rather have 1 gel too many.
on a full then I think I'd stick with roughly that frequency. get the gels that are isotonic too so that you're replacing the salts as well as just getting sugar
and train like you're planning to race. don't just aim to do it on race day, you need to be sure your stomach doesn't rebel against a handful of gels

been okay at fuelling I think! Yesterday did a banana, gel, slice of banana bread and one of those solid food bars they sell at running shops. Still guessing as to when to eat but earmarking eat something every 8k ish.
Got some tablets for the water so I'll stick a couple in my vest's pouch
