After a good interval night yesterday, I am ready to hit the road. As long as the weather is decent, I am looking forward to a good 6 mile tempo after work.
I am doing some research on gels and like the sodium in Crank. Now I just need to buy a couple of each brand and test them out on a run. With so many flavors and differences its hard to decide what to choose. I am sure other runners new to this awesome sport have the same difficulty at first.

I am also looking at this product called http://www.hammernutrition.com/products/endurolytes.elt.html?navcat=fuels-energy-drinks
which puts back electrolytes into your system.
My issue is that I sweat a lot..like a lot on my runs. I have been dealing with hamstring tightness on longer runs and its starting to worry me. I think I need to replace my sodium and electrolytes. I am drinking fluid on my longer runs, but I don't think that is enough due to my excessive sweating.
