Greater than one weekGood taste, easy to get down while running, requires only a sip of water afterwards, and greatly enhances performance.

> 3 dayHave tried a few GU flavors and this one is a favorite. If you are planning on running 45 minutes or more, you should try taking one 5 minutes before you start and then every 45 minutes thereafter until your done. I PRd a half marathon easily using GU Roctane, but did most of my training miles with this GU. It really does give you a boost (I know by looking at my mile splits and lining up when I took the GU to when my split speed increased). Overall a great product for all distance runners!

> 3 dayThis is a good goo with nice flavor and a little caffeine. Can give you a small boost of energy during the day. But all these energy goos are a overpriced.

> 3 dayI use GU for fuel during my long distance runs, anywhere from 8 to 20 miles. Its compact, so its easy to carry with me. I prefer the salted caramel because its higher in sodium for electrolyte replacement and has 20mg caffeine for an energy boost. The flavor is good, as well as the chocolate flavored version. The cost is comparable to similar products, and Ive tried a few. GU is my favorite overall.

> 3 dayI have Type 1 Diabetes and Gu is my go-to for treating low blood sugars. Dissolves quickly like juice, but not heavy to carry. My two favorite flavors are Espresso & Vanilla.

> 3 dayThis is the most palatable of these energy packets Ive tried. It tastes like caramel, which I expect to be sweet so it isnt so shocking when I put it in my mouth. But really I buy it for the energy; it has a little more punch than other gels. I use it before swimming and during my long runs. Gu is thicker than other brands so when it is cold it is really thick.
