GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Assorted Indulgent Flavors

these have continued to provide the energy needed during long training blocks.

I bought these gel packs to enhance my runs, or try to anyway. I am never overly optimistic with online performance purchases, however I read the reviews and went for it. So glad I did, as they are easy to grab first thing in the morning before I head out on a run. I like that they are small as well. I do not feel as depleted and tired after my exertive event. Great purchase , and will be buying more ASAP.

A Gu helps me get moving for my masters swim class and also before and sometime during a bike ride. The Espresso Love and the Chocolate are my favorites.

Taste fine, quick energy, no GI distress.

These things are fantastic. My wife and I carried several of them with us when we ran our first half marathon, and Im convinced there were times that these were the only things keeping us going. The flavors are great, personally I like the chocolate and coffee flavors best but my wife loved the caramel and vanilla so everyones happy! This pack came with a ton of them too, we carried quite a few with us to the half marathon and there were a lot left over so I took some to work to get me through night shift. These little guys pack quite a punch, and I was surprised by how much energy I got from one little pouch, and the energy didnt wear off too fast either. Highly recommended for runners or anyone living on caffeine and looking for a better alternative to guzzling energy drinks all night when youre too tired to be operating heavy machinery but still are expected to do so.

I havent tried too many of the other gel products on the market, so this review may not have much context. However, the Gu gels have been great for my needs. I first tried the sampler pack, with a variety of gel flavors, and settled on the Espresso Love flavor. Im currently training for the Chicago Marathon, and Ive had Gu with me since my first long run of 6 miles. I recently finished a 20 mile run with 4 gels in my fuel belt, and Ill say that these things are a necessity for any run over an hour. The espresso flavor is pretty tasty and has a bit of a savory flavor. Recommended if you are a runner logging long miles.

If youve had gels or any kind of energy nutrition before, you dont really have high expectations on flavors. I really thought I would like citrus flavors more, but the chocolate/coffee/vanilla/caramels are the only ones I like while out on a ride. Wash it down with plenty of water though!

The ease of use and the results within a few minutes keep me using these gels. I ride bicycles hard (20+ Mph) for 2-3 hours at a time. These gels help a quick recovery during the ride.

Easy to carry and use during workouts.

I use Gu as my go to snack when I ride my bike along the American River a Bike Trail. Along with Luna Bars they give me good energy and are easy on my stomach. The Gu packs have a mild taste and taste good to me. I can feel the caffeine kick from this particular flavor when I’m riding.
