Saturated, syrup like, gatorade on one shoulder, water on the other.

You can buy these big containers of the Gatorade power that will make 8 gallons or something. Was 8-10 dollars a container if remember correctly.

When I ran ultras I would measure it out and drink the syrup like gatorade so I could get X amount of calories in an hour along with whatever food I would eat.

All depends what your stomach can handle. Mine did not mind the loads of surgar but some people get sick fast of it. Keep me hydrated and full of electrolytes. There is definitely better hydration / fuling out there but it's cheap.
