[nervous laugh...] Yes indeed.
By the way, you mentioned gels. I can recommend SIS gels. Well, it's all subjective, but they suit me. They are less sweet than the Lucozade Sport ones, but more important, much more liquidy. You don't need water to wash 'em down so they even have a hydration value. I used them on Saturday for the long run, and they certainly did their job (along with some other factors like drinking enough). You can get them in Sweatshop and Tesco and online. I also tried their mix-with-water powder to make an isotonic drink, and really liked the refreshingly sherbetty leon/lime flavour. I'll be buying more.
But I do think that whatever you try, it's hard to find something that will still taste good 15 miles into a marathon.
