New runner

Thanks for the detailed response. How does your pump hook onto the belt? Is it attached to a holder with a clip? Also, I eat honey when I run longer than 5 miles, but am looking for something more efficient. Do you use jellybeans for bg maintenance? Or for lows? Have you used the held? How do those affect bg levels? And salt pills? Is that common? When I ran the the Pittsburgh half I cramped up bad at mile 11, though I never cramped up during any of my training runs. I’m training now for Columbus marathon and I’m getting anxious/nervous because I’m unsure how my body will handle that long of a run. I feel like I will be starving at the midway point. I am definitely going to look into the amphipod, but is yours custom? Was it ordered online? Thanks again for your advice.
