No I don't. I usually eat 1 banana and drink plenty of water before the run, but no food or drink during the run. If the run is over 30km, I usually run home to drink water/coconut water (electrolytes) and eat another banana at 23-24km, and then run the rest on a 6km loop near home. I always carry my phone with me on long runs in case of any emergency.

Wow. That's very impressive. I'm trying out different foods for fuel during my run, but I don't think I could do no water. Is that something you trained for or your body just doesn't really need it?

I think I've trained myself into doing that. I've been running long distance for a while now (this year's full marathon will be my 6th, I ran my first full marathon in 2018), although I'm still very slow. I used to carry a bottle of water when I go on long runs, but I hated carrying anything in my hands while running. I also never decided to buy those bottles that you can wear on a vest or on a belt. Instead I trained myself to not need to drink water if the run is under 25km, and plan the route to make pitstops at home if it's over 25km.
