Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Tried the Orange burst for the first time on a 1/2 Marathon. I was truely amazed. I never lost my edge. I took it at the begining and at mile 8. Just was impressed with it for the little investment, how big of a difference it made for me. I will be using it more often for my longer races.

The newer mint GU is a refreshing improvement to the original chocolate. What flavor! Love it. Hard not to want this outside running. Makes me look forward to logging those miles!

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Great to use during marathon training and on race day! The best part is the chocolate GU flavor tastes like chocolate cupcake icing! They definitely help give that extra boost in energy, especially during those last few miles.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Could not do those long runs without the GU! It keeps me going. I have tried to run long distance without the GU and I end up fatigued and cannot run the distance. Go GU! Try it; it is great!

I use this product 30 minutes before any scheduled run of at least 1.5 hours, then every 45 minutes thereafter.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Recently started using GU on my long runs training for 1st marathon, and the difference is definitely noticeable. As a 25-year, early morning runner, my favorites runs are before breakfast with little to nothing on my stomach. That works fine for runs of less than an hour, but I struggled when I got an hour into long runs. Now, I down one GU with water 15 minutes before I run and one every 45 minutes during my run, and I've had no problems keeping my energy up all the way through my workouts.

Best flavor on the market. Easy to carry and use on the bike.

Facing hills at the end of a long run keeps me running up hills for miles

I am training for my 9th marathon and have tried many gels/blocks/shots over the years. GU has been the kindest to my tummy while keeping my energy up on long runs.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Use on my long runs ( anything over 6 miles)

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

We eat just before running and then every 4 miles.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

The flavors are pleasant, though the consistency is a bit thick (closer to packaged cake frosting than the competition.) No high fructose corn sweetener -- especially good for those of us with a corn sensitivity. Energy available quickly after consumption. Package is difficut to open once hands get sweaty, and the tear-off tab is a litter hazard. The chocolate and vanilla (the most likely flavors found at races) are also the most forgettable. Go with the blueberry, Espresso Love, or other exotics for a kick in the taste buds.

I previously used Hammer Gel as my main source of fuel during long runs, but recently switched to GU and I couldn't be happier. The consistency/texture, flavors and benefits are the best I have experienced with any fuel packs. I could not have done my 17 mile run last week without these!

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Yes, it works... and if that is all that matters, then go ahead and buy it. However, I could not finish half of one. I can't tell if it was the flavor or the texture, but it was just awful!

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

Great for training and short races. For a marathon or longer inuse Hammer Gel which seems to me to be better but also more expensive.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

This product is easy to carry and works well. Just wish teh consistency was a bit thinner.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

I am a marathon runner and use this product during my long runs. The caffine gives me an extra boost and the taste makes me feel like I am getting a treat mid run. Only problem is what to do with the garbage.

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

I like orange and chocolate mint. Tastes great and just the right amount of energy during a 13 mile run (or race).

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

I use it before and during long runs. It seems to help keep my energy levels up

Comments about GU 24 PK Nutrition:

I take one 10 minutes prior to and every 45 - 60 minutes during a marathon.
