Jeff Im doing Chicago as well for the first time.
I typically on longer runs (I did St Jude last year, my first marathon) I carry 1 GU for the last 3 miles. During the race, I eat these biscuits that our local running store carried. I'm not sure you can buy them anymore but I can check on the name of them. I take 2 of those and 1 salt tab every 5 miles. I had no trouble with nutrition. St Jude was untypically warm that day. Five days before we did our last runs in the 30's and the day of the race it rained so they delayed our race by an hour and then it was upper 60's, lower 70's throughout the race. People were falling out, getting fluids intravenously on the side of the road. It was very miserable. My biggest issue was fluid. I could not stay hydrated. I did not have a Handheld or vest (something I vowed I would never, ever do again) and I literally only thought about getting to the nex****er stop.
Whats your goal time?
If Doc gets on, he typically does Ultras and Im sure he has some good nutrition ideas.

Just looking to see if anybody is a Runner and what they do to stay Fueled for the Long Runs. I am starting my Journey to the Chicago Marathon and still have not figured out what works best for me for those Long Runs..
I just finished a challenge this past weekend (15K, 5K on Sat; Half, 8K on Sun) and by the 8K, I was spent.. could barely keep going and Sugars were down to the 50s...
I have done many Halfs and usually can get by on GUs and some Gatorade during the Run... so the longer runs, I think are going to be a challenge in itself...
Thank You
Jeff

OMG! It's been so hard not being able to work out at all! I'll be released to start back slowly on Monday and work my way back up... I've been getting my steps, water, and protein in while off but I actually miss working out! 
Never thought that would happen. So, I'll see you all next week on the boards! Woot!
