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 Energy Gel 24 pack 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 Energy Gel 24 pack 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!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack 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.

Gu works great for me. I love all of the flavors (especially the new salted caramel). For me, it's a treat to look forward to on long runs. And it works! I have my best runs with Gu.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I take every 30-45min on double digit runs. For races I also take one 5-10min before the start. These have helped me through 10 marathons!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Many of my runner friends use this product for long runs. I wanted to see how I could incorporate these into my own training. Easy to open and suck down. Recommended with water ( I agree).

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great product for runners. Gives energy to continue running for more than 6 miles.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use GU before shot runs and both before and during longer runs (over 1 hour)

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use Gu energy gels during long workouts (longer than 1 hr) and after a hard workout when I don't have access to a healthy snack. It's an easy way to get energy back in your system.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I am a loyal user of Gu. I prefer vanilla or plain flavor for long runs. Try it on your next training run and you may avoid that tired sluggish feeling.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Easy to carry in your cycling shirt, hiking pants or other exercise clothes.

Use before and during both anarobic and arobic exercise.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

The service was great and the delivery was incredibly quick. If I was as fast as Roadrunner Sports I would be hoping for a 2 hour Marathon instead of a 4 hour time.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Gu is a great source of energy and carbs for workouts lasting more than 45 minutes. I use one package of Gu for every 40 minutes of running. The box I received had one package broken which caused the product to spill all over the rest of the packets of Gu. I had to wash each package before using to make sure I didn't cross contaminate and get sick.

I have been eating Gu for 11 years and although I've tried other products, I keep coming back to it. It really does perk me up and works its way into my system fast. Be careful of eating the caffeinated ones if you're not a coffee drinker. They pack a wallop. I'll alternate caffeine with no caffeine to keep away the jitters :)

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I love the new Salty Caramel flavor. Besides the energy from Gu, knowing you have a Salty Caramel Gu to look forward to will get you through your long run with a smile on your face.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Gu does what it needs to do. It is a bit sticky, especially if you are on the dehydrated side during a long run. If you haven't tried it before you might want the mix pack to figure out which ones work for you. I avoid the ones with caffeine, but others find them helpful. It tastes good and is convenient, but I do think it is way overpriced for what it is.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

While I usually mix my homemade energy gel, the convenience of prepackaged GU is great. Espresso Love, my choice GU, is the least sweet of the GU flavors. The price is acceptable and the shipping is quick.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Convenient quick energy boost that tastes good.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Once you find a flavor you like...you can't beat buying it in bulk. This tastes good, provides quick energy and is easy to consume while running.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use GU to get through my medium and long runs. It taste great and provides energy when I need it most. RoadRunner Sports has a good selection at a good price.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Love Gu. And i love RoadRunners family A+ treatment. Order today, get it tomorrow. No need to waste gas, time or deal with traffic. Order through Roadrunner and be happy.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Plain is the only flavor that seems to agree with me. All the others make a return.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I take a GEL 15 minutes prior to work out and about every 6 miles

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

GU gels are useful to those planning endurance exercises beyond 45 minutes, or for racing. GU replentishes the depleted liver glycogen and helps offset hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) allowing you to continue endurance sports longer.

For Marathon long run training, typically bring one gel for every 4 miles you plan to run. Drinkw water every two miles, and take a GU every four miles. You will notice a boost to your energy after about 5 minutes. Its important to use GU with plenty of water, and not to use it with Gatoraid, which can overload your carbohydrates and or upset your stomach.

For races like a 10K, just take one about 15 minutes before the start. FOr half Marathon races do the same, but carry about 3 more to take at 4 mile or less intervals.

The flavor mix gives you a good assortment, and includes some of the more expensive Roctane gels, which you can save for races.

all in all, GU makes endurance sports possible for amateur athletes who want to exercise for a long time.

Tri-Berry and Vanilla are my favorite.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I am a cyclist, I have been using GU for some 10 years now, tried others but always come back to GU, because of taste, and the GU doesn't break down after a period of time.

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