GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Assorted Indulgent Flavors

I’m pretty bad at fueling during my long runs and usually procrastinate until I crash. I did an impromptu marathon without running longer than 12 miles in months. I drank a pedialyte the night before as recommended & started fueling around 5 miles. The first GU I took was without caffeine, then every thirty minutes or so I consumed the Espresso Love flavor GU (which has 40g caffeine). I sucked on it over a period of miles (with sips of water) until I finished it. I had 5 or 6 GU’s total for my marathon. I never crashed or hit a wall, although I was running with a friend for their first marathon so I was going slower than usual. I never had GI issues, I believe because I took these slowly. I also alternated between Gatorade & water at the aid stations, focusing more on water because I figured I was getting enough from my GU’s. I’m not a fan of the fruity flavors but I’ll be buying cases of the Espresso Love flavor. I believe they were a big factor in making this marathon go perfectly.

Odd to me that this stuff works - I started out with chocolate based on a recommendation and as a chocoholic, I figured it would be great. It tastes like frosting and was a bit too much. This one, on the other hand, has me craving to down them like snacks and I actually find myself willing to work out as an excuse to have one.

One of the better flavors of gels in my opinion.

Great taste and excellent energy delivery when I need it on runs over 5 miles and rides over 20 miles! Wouldnt workout without these!!

I bought this variety pack because I didnt want to commit to any one flavor before I had an opportunity to try them all. I think the word Indulgent in the descriptor is a bit misleading. Heres my review of the flavours: 1. Vanilla Bean- Not great, but better than the birthday-cake flavored gels from the same company (not in this variety pack, thank god). 2. Salted Caramel- SO. SWEET. Even on my longest run, this was inedible because of how sweet it was. Im really unsure of how they achieved this, because none of the others are this unpalatably sweet. 3. Caramel Macchiato- better than the Salted Caramel flavor. Not my favorite of the bunch, but not the worst. 4. Chocolate Outrage- This was definitely my favorite and I can honestly say that I LIKED it. Tasted just like brownie batter. 5. Espresso Love- Also one of the better flavors! It really does have a nice espresso taste to it that isnt too strong, nor too sweet, but pretty satisfying! Overall, I do recommend this product especially if youre not sure what flavors you want to rely on when youre dying on your long runs or hardest and longest workouts. Theyre also gluten-free, vegan, and caffeinated to boot!

these have continued to provide the energy needed during long training blocks.

100% Los recomiendo

I have used these gels to fuel long endure events. They taste good, and the fact that they contain caffeine is a bonus

Great product A++++

Buen sabor y realmente es efectivo cuando se practica ejercicios de alto rendimiento, como ciclismo.
