In Need of an energy boost.

Yeah, I'd look at your overall diet and timing rather than trying a specific pick me up like Gu etc.  I have just recently changed my program from breakfast/snack/lunch/snack/dinner (with evening workouts) to breakfast/earlier but smaller lunch/larger snack/dinner.  Having a more significant afternoon meal seems to really help me. 

Also, things like trail mix, fruit, nuts, nut butters etc are going to be better for you and hold more sustainable energy and nutrients than processed gels etc. 

I hope your recovery continues well! 

A good and balanced diet would keep you running day-in and day-out. For additional substance, I would recommend caffeine, you can drink them whenever you want (be mindful with the rush).

In general, if you hit the numbers on vitamins and minerals intake then it surely enough to keep you moving

Eat well and train well

I totally agree with the above insight. If you are looking for help in the pick me up department, I really like FRS products. The little chews are great for all purposes and are not as gut wrenching as gels. I had a Chomp for the first time the other day, that was pretty good too.

I too sip on a little 5hr energy on rare occasions or pop a vitamin B to keep me going, but it's having a balanced diet and effective meal timing that are truly proponents to long term energy throughout the afternoon.
