Fuelling a 2,000 Mile Run Across Europe: How to fuel for multi-day ultras and adventures

Run Tester Kieran is currently on the running challenge of a lifetime – attempting to run Europe's Danube River from sea to source, 2,000 miles (3,000km) in 70 days. That's a marathon a day for more than 2 months. Carrying all his own kit. And that makes fuelling challenging to say the least. How do you get enough of the good stuff in to support the running and recovery when you can't really carry much? And what's best for packing the much-needed nutritional punch to support your system under extreme duress? Hit play to find out what Kieran is packing to power him across Europe.
