GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Salted Caramel

I use GU for my long runs (anything over 5 miles) and it works wonders. I love how convenient it is to use during a run. I keep it in the pocket of my handheld water bottle and can consume this easily, without stopping or slowing my pace. I didnt use to like GU, until I tried the SALTED CARAMEL flavor. It is so good I actually look forward to taking it :) It does make your mouth feel dry though, so make sure you have some water on hand after taking

So I actually have a pretty simple flavor taste, but Ive used these Gu Energy Gels for both Marathon race days as well as training. Theyre lightweight, easy to swallow, and typically do not leave a bad aftertaste. Vanilla bean is just my personal favorite flavor. Experiment with what you may or may not like. Always experiment with nutrition on training runs, and not race days, as everyones digestion is different, and they may cause upset stomachs if you havent used them before. Other than that, the only real downside, is if you dont stop to open and use them, they can make your hands sticky, because a little bit always kind of leaks out while youre opening and running.

Ive been using these since the 1990s, and theyre still just as good as they were back then. I frequently do rides of 50 miles (or further), and taking one of these once an hour really helps to keep my energy levels up. Plus they taste absolutely great. 10-15 minutes after taking one I seem to get some extra kick in my legs. I also use the Gu Chews (in watermelon flavor) that may taste even better. Ill chew 2 of those maybe every 15-30 minutes in between the gels. Great products from Gu.

The flavor is so good. I use it on my long bike rides and it really does its job. Gives me a steady boost without a hard sugar type crash.

These are my go to product with endurance sports. I feel so much better during my long distance rides, runs and swims. They are so little but have the nutrition I need so they are not bulky. I love this flavor the best and feel the caffeine kick gives me a boost but not one that makes me feel shaky.

These are soooooooo good! They taste like pudding, just need a piece of chocolate to put with it! I use these gels for every marathon &Half-marathon.

Very good. Used it for energy when playing tennis. Had to take a break from tennis the last month.

i used to use the power gels from powerbar. They quit making the only flavor i could stand so i needed to find something else. I did some research to find what was the best bang for your buck as far as taste and effectiveness. I came across this salted caramel GU. BOOM...love it....not only does it help me through my runs, but it tastes great. I actually look forward to having it. Maybe its just because i suffered through the taste of the power gels is the reason i appreciate the taste of these so much. Or maybe not? i highly recommend trying it for yourself

I like evrything re gu gels, only ordered wrong type, needed with roctaine for better endurance trainings but will by them for the race

I like the convenience and ease of use of GU Energy gels. The flavors are fine and they dont take up much space in my jersey pockets. I generally use 2 or more on rides of 1.5 hours or longer.
