Jelly babies vs. Lucozade sport

Cartman

Just done a marathon today where there wasn't any lucozade sport (ggggrrrr !!!).

However they were giving out jelly babies, so I decided to risk the other type of runs in a desperate attempt to avoid smacking into the wall.
Unfortunately I failed abysmally (hitting the wall that is) cos I only managed 6 whole babies and one head.

So how many jelly babies equal a pouch of lucozade sport ???

Given that I normally knock back about 4 during a marathon, I'm guessing its more than 1.625 ;-)

There was a thread on this under this year's flm. Got really scientific, so if you can find it, it may help. I think that with water only to drink, it worked out at five jelly babies a mile, although I might have remembered wrongly. Also there are differences depending on weight and metabolism.

i think i read somewhere that if you have a few jelly babies a mile it provides a 'constant glucose drip' - definately equals more than six.
not sure on comparisons to lucozade
well done on your run
