GU Energy Gel 8 pack

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I received a sample of this at a half-marathon run last summer. Absolutely delicious! I am not a fan of fruit flavors, so this Vanilla flavor meets my taste buds' requirements. I'm back for more!

My running coach introduced me to it several years ago and I won't do a long run or race without it.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Use it all the time for training longer distances. Wouldn't use anything else. Tried other gels but nothing tastes as good.

I bought the chocolate peanutbutter and it is like a gourmet treat during my long runs. I feel like I need to run more because it tastes so decadent.
WIll buy more for sure!!

I use this product during long runs of 10 miles or more. Helps with maintaining a good energy level.

My previous favorite flavor of GU Energy Gel was the Vanilla Bean, which is still pretty good, but my new favorite is the Espresso Love. It may have been psychological, but the benefit of the 40 mg of caffeine was key in my last marathon. It wasn't my best preparation, training-wise, for a race, but on race day everything was clicking and I ended with a PR! I give the Espresso Love some credit for my stellar performance as I felt energized after each gel.

Great taste and easy to use

I'm a distance runner and average about 7 to 9 miles in a single run. Not a lot compared to others, but I'm getting there. Gu Energy gel works great. I take one before my run, and another around my 5th mile (about 45-50 minutes in) and that does the trick. The only complaint is that it tastes terrible. I got Tri Berry and Mandarine orange, it was just awful. But honestly, I've tried other gels, and they don't work as great. It's a very small price to pay for good sustainable energy. Just wash it down with some water and you're good. No after taste at all.

I purchased these Gu Tri-Berry Gel Packs last week to use while training for a half-marathon. Using standard shipping, it arrived within 2 days; VERY impressive! That same week, I used it on a 6-mile run. I took one about 10 minutes prior to my run and another at about 40 minutes, which was at about mile 4. It was close to the end of my run, but I wanted to see if my energy was maintained, and it was. I completed miles 5 and 6 with no problems, along with proper hydration. I cannot say enough about the taste and texture of this product. I recently tried a similar product, which was WAY too pasty, like gel toothpaste. Gu, however left no heavy aftertaste, and no remaining filmy nastiness; it went down clean and smooth. I also had no side affects like cramping or anything. I will definitely be purchasing more of these, and probably try other flavors.

I take one Gu 25 minutes before my long runs and one every 40 minutes during my run. The peppermint is my favorite flavor, salted caramel is my close second favorite. They are easy to carry in a pocket and take with a little water on the go. I have tried other brands and nothing compares to the flavor and energy I get from Gu.

Used during 1/2 marathon. Taste was good and left no aftertaste or upset stomach. I will buy again.

Used this during ten mile run and it tastes and works well during and after run.

Love the flavor and texture of Gu. I have tried other brands during running events and I'm always glad I packed my own Gu. Mint is my favorite flavor. It reminds me of a peppermint patty, yum!

It is small and easy to pack in a pocket. It is supper easy to tear open and enjoy on a run. I take one packet starting 30-40 minutes into a long run and repeat every 30-40 minutes to sustain energy and avoid hitting the wall.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

GU is one of my favorite gels to take. Mainly because they taste good. I like bland flavors (chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter)because they counteract a fruity drink mix in my water bottle. The Chocolate and Vanilla have caffeine which gives me stomach problems and the Peppermint doesn't so I chose that one. The flavor is very refreshing and I think the peppermint opens up your senses and makes you more alert. I would definitely order this again.

I've tried every flavor of GU and this is by far my absolute favorite.

The best energy gel on the market!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

WHEN I AM RUNNING A LONG DISTANCE, ON MY HALF WAY I TAKE ONE OF MY GU GEL AND IT GIVES ME A LOT OF ENERGY TO FINISH WITH A GOOD RESULT. AFTER I FINISH MY TRAINING I TAKE ANOTHER ONE. IT MAKES ME FEEL STRONGER FOR ALL DAY LONG. I LOVE THEM!!!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I like the gu gel the best of all of them. My favorites are the chocolate mint (like a peppermint pattie) and vanilla bean. These have quite a thick texture and are not too sickly sweet tasting. Once I get over 60-90 minutes in my run I sometimes find myself fading. One of these around every 30 minutes seems to do the trick. I'm a fan of accelerade and endurox but I tried the accel gels and found them sickly sweet and runnier in consistency which didn't sit well with me. I'm doing a half next week, will ramp down for 6 weeks or so and then I start training for a May marathon. These will definitely be my go-to fuel
