I cannot describe the relief when I discovered that I didn't just uncontrollably soiled myself.

The bag lasted for 3 years, so I guess it's time to buy a new one.

What do I do, is that I mix half a liter according to instructions on the box. This lasts me 10-15 Kms. If I run more, then I just double it

That looks like 88g carbohydrates per litre, as 70g of sugar (sucrose and glucose, unclear ratio) with 18g maltodextrin.

I've been using 85g sugar per litre, so pretty much exactly the same. That's reassuring. So that litre would cover two hours of running, with about 30g carbs every half hour.

Sounds about right
