Can you recommend alternatives to gels for refueling during long runs (and the marathon)? Real food ideally...

The best solution is a banana but they aren't great to carry! The only way around refuelling during the run is to carry a 'fuel belt' that you can get from any running retailer. You can fit a small number of bananas in these. Jelly babies are another good option and very popular with runners especially late in the event.

What's the best time to take the energy gels during a race? I'm never sure.

I feel lethargic in the day if I have too many carbs. Can this have the same effect when running?
