Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion First timer: my training program for One-Day Whitney

Oh yes, I can attest to that myself with trail running... never again will I try new things during an event. Lesson learned the hard way is now unforgettable. :sick:

If I do use Hammer Perpetuem, I'll use it multiple times prior to Whitney on a training hike or trail run. My trainer is big on me getting correct fat/protein/carb mix for the sport, but want to know what old-timers find works and doesn't work in the real world.

I don't use Gatorade, it's chemical-ish to me (I can stomach it, just don't like it). I get my electrolytes through Nuun, or Hammer product/pill (they're all dry as well, so can be mixed on trail.)

I think I should bring things that don't have much packaging (man-made or natural) so I don't have to carry excess garbage weight.

What moist foods do you bring?
