Hi HN! OP here. I would have never expected to find interest here for ultra running. But of course there is -- thanks for the comments!

@n4r9: I avoid peanuts because I find them somewhat allergenic. I'll update the post.

ekr____: regarding fat, I think it's a personal thing. I get really tired of getting my calories through carbs when ultra running. I find it quite easy to scarf down 2000-3000kcal of nuts and they seem to sit well. But then again, I'm a slow runner (even by ultra standards). Also, indeed, the 30k stops are for a context with no race organization (no drop bags) where there's always a supermarket nearby.

@swah: thanks for posting! Stopping every 30k sounds crazy because it is crazy. But crazy is what ultra is, after all. I'm currently trying to "get used" to run 100k. In that context, carrying supplies for 30-40k (4-5 hours of running/shuffling) is reasonable. Stopping too often gives me more opportunities to get distracted, burn time and give up sooner than I would have otherwise.
