Gu energy gel (Page 2)

Oh my goodness!!! I just tried a GU on an 18km training run. Good thing it was a training run!!! My gracious the texture was beyond terrible Looks like I'll be scoping out something different too!! I can't even verbalize own horrible it was. I did more than gag!!! I actually tossed my cookies. Unfortunately had to cut my run to 12kms. I'm pretty disappointed. I think maybe some chews would be the way to go!! Km going to give them a try next long run. Thanks for your post. I was thinking I was a bit strange. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Make sure you are taking in enough water with each gel packet - no matter the brand. The fluid is necessary to digest the gels. Then the flavors and textures there are lots of brands to try. I recently tried e-gels, huma gels and glukos are all options.
