When I ran alot of trail races(15-20 miles) I used gels and electrolyte tablets every hour or so. But what I learned is that no matter what my training had been or the many different supplements I used during the race, I have about 3 hours of hard exertion to complete the majority of the work or I needed to rest. If I didn't the consequence was muscle cramps. You need to learn through trial and error what works best for your body chemistry to keep energy up and electrolyte levels. Hydration is huge, that really is pretty universal, but your needs in calories and electrolytes can differ from person to person.
