Running while pg - snacks?

Normally when I am training and doing long runs I take gummy bears with me for energy. What healthy energy sources did you take with you if you did long runs while pregnant? What about Gu?

  • While I'm still TTGP I use dried fruit on my long runs for energy. Since it's a safe food during pregnancy I intend to keep packing my pinapple rings when I hit the road.

  • I just use the same routine I did when I was not pregnant: gu and gatorade for any run longer than 6 miles/1 hour.   

    Gummy bears don't provide any electrolytes.

  • I can't eat when I run, so it was never a question for me. Even on 20 milers, I just drink water.

  • Thanks, ladies! I love dried fruit and I will pick up some Clif Blocks too.

  • I use Gu chomps. Without caffine and take gatoraid on all my runs.
