Glad you've enjoyed my crusade. I hope to continue it.

Many of your suggestions is based around cycling and the ability to carry full mixed larger water bottles.
What would be your suggested mix for say a small hand flask to make more of a gel consistency used for long runs training/half mary/mary/ultras whereby a camleback, or on course water is only afforded every so often?

Lastly what is the reason so many people seem to tolerate Coca Cola as a fueling strategy on course? It appears it is made of HFCS, but that from reading online is basically table sugar...so back to your findings is that why...its the perfect ratio plus hydration and caffeine?
This is one of my favorite ironies in all of endurance sports. You are exactly right. Lots of folks think that the benefit might be the carbonation. It's just the sugar ratios are better than the other sports products.
Fun fact, we added Coke as a selectable product in our app for this reason. It's better than at least half the beverages on the market, and is probably best if mostly (or completely) flat. Add salt.
