I was going to just try using Gatorade (like just get the powder packets and mix them in my water bottle), but a couple of friends who do marathons told me they both got GI problems from using Gatorade and they thought it was because of high salt content but they're not sure.

I'm working on training for a marathon and when my long runs start getting farther, I want to practice using whatever I'm going to use during the race so I can get used to it and figure out a more specific strategy. I've never done a run long enough to consider using gels or anything before, the farthest race I've ever done has been half marathons and for those I just took water from aid stations and didn't have any issues with "crashing" or anything.
