marathon training

Question
Hi John. I'm training for a marathon in June. I've begun to incorporate 2 days of weight training during the week and was wondering if I should train my legs or just stick with upper body? Also, what are your thoughts on electrolyte supplements (lyte 'n go) during long runs...do they really help? What about energy gels? I really don't like to eat anything while running but then I think that I'll probably need the energy. Any info you can provide will be appreciated. Many thanks!
