Cereal for breakfast is a big no-no. Gatorade on the run never gave me problems. I think it's because the body absorbs the sugars faster than it can build up in the blood stream. Besides, if I want water that tastes like juice, I just go for the juice :-)

I still have a bottle of Propel sitting in my pantry that I got in one of the races. I don't like the after taste of the artificial sweetener. More importantly, I'm a big fan of drinking sugar solutions :-) I don't think that drinking sugar solutions on a run would lead to hypoglycemia. I too avoid eating foods that have a high GI.

I think it all depends on your motivation for running. If you're running to maintain physical fitness, or to be competitive, then drinking energy drinks should be part of your workout. On the other than, if you're running to lose weight, then you should be cutting out calories wherever you can. To make things even more complicated, the more I read on the latest running studies, the more I think there is no silver bullet. We're all individuals and our bodies respond differently. You'll just have to figure out what works for you.
