Perfect for endurance sports, especially in the heatEasy to eat, tastes goodJust get used to it and don’t try it for the first time on race day

I used these to power through training and to finish my first full marathon recently. During training I could 100% tell if I'd taken a Gu before the run or not and I always ran better with a Gu. On race day they are part of my fuel strategy, although I do alternate between another fuel source. However, Gu is critical to the strategy and is the foundation of my fuel for the marathon. I recommend.

Best gel at least for me flavor is great and it helps for my marathon our triathlon

These are our favorite GU’s! The flavor is refreshing and the price is fantastic!

Good flavor, and the formulation really works to get me going and keep me going on the trail when I'm biking.Only one weakness, which might make me lean toward a competitor - the tab you have to rip off the top is annoying. It slows me down gets my fingers sticky, since I don't want to litter. After I eat the gel, I tuck the top tab back into the opening where the gel squeezes out before stuffing the package back in a pocket for later disposal. One of the other brands has a clever little "leash" on the tab, so it doesn't get away.

One of my favorite gu flavors. I will purchase again.

Awesome for long-distance runs. When you start to get "dopey-legs", chug one of this nasty frosting packets and you can keep running for miles. Yes the texture is gross. You open it, squeeze it in your mouth-hole, and swallow. It's like that so you don't have to chew and probably won't choke to death running while eating like your mother warned you not to. Flavors are gross because they are so, so sweet. That's great though, because when you really, really need them, they're delicious.

Ok, I am not a banana type of guy even though I know a banana is good on a long bike ride, but I can't stomach them. About 60 miles into the ride, I start to drag and start wishing the ride was over. Solid energy bars or even fig bars once again don't settle well with me an I experience zero positive effect. I was skeptical of gel but became a believer after a friend gave me one about 60 miles into the ride. This is the first energy 'fix' that I can say I noticed an immediate response. I was enjoying the rest of the ride and riding strong . It then dawned on me that I was not wishing the ride to end! The gel is easy on my stomach (as long as I drink plenty of water) and is quickly assimilated. The result is exactly what I would have wish for. I recommend the Lemon lime because it's not heavy on the caffeine. One more thing, much easier to carry than a banana.
