10g per kilo seems massively high to me - equiv of 20 bowls of cereal a day? I thought the idea was to keep the calorie level the same but to tilt away from fat and protein and into carbs.
I used these tips to help me through VLM 2013; however I still had to suffer muscle cramps around mile 20 and the was forced to walk/jog the last 6 miles to the finish line. I could not seem top up my electrolyte levels enough to continue running at a 4:30 pace. Finished in 5:20.

It's not like you can stop for a cheeseburger on route is it ?
