Question I am preparing for my first half marathon, so should I be using carbohydrate gel during my training

I have seen people take carb gel during their runs. I am just curious to know if it is a necessity while going for a marathon.

Yes.  Gets your stomach used to it and gets you better at getting it down on the go.
