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

I use these for energy during long Mountain bike rides in Colorado..

Really good gu. Helpful on long runs. I used to just use during races, then decided to try on long training runs, after a run where I totally hit the wall. I feel so much more energy during run, and less depleted at the end. I take one before I start, and another after about 45 minutes if Im going to run for at least another half hour. Id like to get another flavor without caffeine for evening runs, but these have been great. Just use with care - you get it on your hands mid run, your are going to be a sticky mess :-)

I was burning out (hitting the wall) when I tried to run more than 13 miles. I am preparing to run my first marathon and needed some help. I looked at a lot of energy supplements and my biggest concern was how a supplement might hit my stomach halfway into a run. I’m happy to say that these supplements are working for my running regimen, give me a noticeable energy boost very quickly after consuming, and so far I have not had any stomach issues. I am taking two during long runs right and will probably use 3 during marathon runs in addition to what the event hands out. Right now I pause my run to take these. I know I need to learn to take them while running before my marathon and it definitely seems possible as these gels are pretty dense (not runny/messy). I like this flavor pack and will probably stick with it.

The ease of use and the results within a few minutes keep me using these gels. I ride bicycles hard (20+ Mph) for 2-3 hours at a time. These gels help a quick recovery during the ride.

If you’re into running, these bad bois have so much zoom in them

Some say that the consistensy is a bit offputting but overall the flavors taste good. I have one a little bit over halfway through my long run and drink it down with some water. It provides energy and a boost of caffeine to keep me going!

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

I’m a fan of GUs to begin with and love them for my longer bike rides, but this has to be the best flavor ever!!! They’re like eating a melty GS cookie! What a treat! Love love love them!

They give just enough of a boost of energy during a long hike (11 miles) I use two when I start to feel sluggish. I was worried the caffeine would bother my weak stomach or make me feel jittery but I had not negative reactions.

When I was in college forever ago, I worked nights at a now defunct sporting goods store that sold Gu. I loved them so much to help give me a boost of energy to push through 2 jobs and a full time course load. I was so surprised when i came across them on Amazon, 2 kids and a lot of big training goals later. I hoped and hoped they tasted as good as they did back in my college days, and they did not dissapoint. I love how every flavor is still super sweet like frosting with such a little amount of sugar. They still taste great and provide sustained energy with no jitters. As a bonus, I absolutely love that they are thicker and less runny now then they were back then. They are so much easier and less messy to eat. In these crazy times, its good to know that you can still rely on Gu.
