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!

Great tasting and gives you that boost when you need it.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I'm not a big fan of "guing" but sometimes I need a boost on a long run. I can tolerate several of the flavors but the salted caramel is actually good! I guess because real caramel can be gooey and the consistency doesn't bother me as much in this flavor.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I use gels only when I'm running more than 8 miles. I love having them on hand at the halfway point of my half marathons. I usually keep both caffeine and no caffeine gels on hand, I like to alternate.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Great flavor and no additives.
Although I wish I could get carboom from more places, this is a great alternative.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Been using these for long runs for a while now and they give me the nutrition I need to get my mies in.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

It's the tastiest flavor.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I use GU for my long runs. I had a hard time finding a flavor I liked because of the consistency. The Salted Caramel has by far been my favorite because it tastes like caramel and has the similar texter as a really creamy smooth caramel.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Taste great and easy on the stomach. Convieant. Throw one in your fear bag and your good to go.
Easy way God a quick boost before a work out.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I usually use a gel if I'm running over 10 miles. This one is especially good (salted carmel). Not only does it give me a little burst of energy, it gives me something to look forward too because its so yummy! I usually take a gel every 4 or 5 miles after the first 10. Change it up a bit with flavors!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Easy to digest. No issues.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I like the consistency of Gu and one other product. However, Gu has a better selection of flavors than most which makes it the best choice for me.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I use the GU on my long runs. It is pretty tasty but it is hard to find so I don't know if it is seasonal or not.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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!!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

Love the product.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

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

Comments about GU Energy Gel 8 pack Nutrition:

I love this product. Chocolate is my favorite. It helps me get thru my grueling work outs. I depend on my GU.

Best energy gel hands down!
