Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: When I run the 2010 NYC Marathon, I had to stop at Mile 23 for severe cramps. The medical team gave me plain salt and it really helped! I was able to finish the marathon (my first) in less than 5 hours. So sodium matters and Powerbar has 200mg of it compared to just 50mg on the GU (which was what I used during the marathon). Powerbar also has more carbs, more potassium and more content (41g vs 32g) and is less guey so its easier to swallow. It has however twice the sugar than GU (the sole reason I chose GU over Powerbar before). But I realize now that, sodium and carbs are the more important components in distance running so I've been using Powerbar since. I highly recommend this. Strawberry Banana tastes best! Pros

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I absolutely love the chocolate Power Gel. I think it tastes just like pudding and the density is similar to pudding which appeals to me; however, after about 3 hours of running I usually switch over to a different flavor like strawberry banana because it's not as thick. The more hours I'm running the harder it is to take in nutrition. Pros

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I use this gel in training and in competition. I recently became a masters female racer. I believe in taking care of all parts of your running - training, recovery, sleep, nutrition and hydration. Mess up one part and you'll fall short. Take care of all parts and you reach your dreams. Race with powergel. Train with powergel. Repeat for about 20 years and make the all womens start at Boston at age 40! Dare to dream! Oh, and it only works if you are a woman. Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: Tried another product and no comparison with Power Gel! Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: While training for the 1/2 marathon in Dublin, Ireland my running partner and I are using the gel and we seem to get a little pep in our step after we take one with a swig of water. Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: Good product, more liquid than other brands, easy to swallow and digest. Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: Done 70 marathons and used this gel in 60 of them. It works. Pros

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I definitively prefer the orange flavour. Most digestible than the other ones. A bit on the sweet side, so I typically chase it with some water.

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I have tried others and keep going back to Power Gel - the thinner consistency is perfect for a quick take before your workout and during workout. I run long distance, - they pin nicely in shorts or I just started using Flipbelt -slide in and out easily. All flavors are good - with VIP discount the value is great!!

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: great before an early morning run. They provide a little wake up at 5am. Take with some water.I like them better than GU they aren't as thick and pasty as GU. I also use them during long runs and long bike rides. Use only water. If you take then with a sports drink you will get cramps from to much sugar

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I love the chocolate PowerGel during my long training runs. It tastes good and is not difficult to get down like some other brands. I also like buying it in bulk because you save quite a bit of money and I'm not running to The store to get them all The time. The 1x caffeine helps me through my runs by giving me that extra boost.

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: I need to eat during long runs to keep my energy levels up and PowerBar nail it for me with this product. Easy to take in, doesn't take too effort to digest it and you can feel the boost in a short while. I'm eating one every 20 minutes depending on the distance I'm covering and I can you I'm finishing stronger than I did before using this product.

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: This is the second box I've purchased. I read the reviews before purchasing that this product is pretty easy to eat during a work out and decided to take a chance. I usually CANNOT eat gels, chews, etc. without nausea, gagging, stomach ache, you name it. I CAN eat this one and have used 2-3 during long work outs without a stomach ache or heartburn. (10-12 mile runs)The product is thin and more like a drink than a gel. The flavor is mild. I can consume it quickly, wash it down with water, and keep going.
Pros

Comments about Powerbar Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition: Caffeine in gels has been counter-productive in my experience (5 ironmans, aplenty marathons) - vanilla PG'els is all I use and it works. I'll never use any gel w/ caffeine based on negative training impacts.
