GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel, 24-Count, Vanilla Bean

Have tried a few GU flavors and this one is a favorite. If you are planning on running 45 minutes or more, you should try taking one 5 minutes before you start and then every 45 minutes thereafter until your done. I PRd a half marathon easily using GU Roctane, but did most of my training miles with this GU. It really does give you a boost (I know by looking at my mile splits and lining up when I took the GU to when my split speed increased). Overall a great product for all distance runners!

I’ve purchased a lot of GU but wanted to try a new flavor. I was not disappointed with the salted caramel. GU is my go to energy boost before and during any long run and when it tastes good it makes it even better. Love this product!

this product 0ffers a quick blast 0f energy when needed to push through a low spell.

I have tried many of the GU energy Gel and the Vanilla Bean is by far my favorite. If you dont really like these energy gels just imagine this one tastes like ice cream. Some of the other flavors arent to my taste but this is the only one I will use on a long run. Recommended advice is to take 1 just 5 mins before starting running then every 45 minutes during a run. This is what I do and gives me the perfect boost to keep going. Its important to train with these rather than just use them during races, and if they give you free energy gels half way through a race and they arent your regular brand dont take them. No need to experiment during a big race - just keep taking what you are used too. If you previously tried GU and are thinking of trying a new flavor then I highly recommend this one.

I use GU for my long runs (anything over 5 miles) and it works wonders. I love how convenient it is to use during a run. I keep it in the pocket of my handheld water bottle and can consume this easily, without stopping or slowing my pace. I didnt use to like GU, until I tried the SALTED CARAMEL flavor. It is so good I actually look forward to taking it :) It does make your mouth feel dry though, so make sure you have some water on hand after taking

Very good. Used it for energy when playing tennis. Had to take a break from tennis the last month.

I have tried many other energy gels over the years and none have worked as well as GU. I recently started using GU for my long-distance runs and I love it. It gives me the kick I need and even some caffeine to keep me going. I also really like the Salted Caramel flavor. Because it is an energy gel it has to have salt in it. Sometimes this can taste odd, but with a flavor like Salted Caramel it tastes natural and that is amazing when you are ready for a boost during a workout.

This is one of my favorite supplements, I can use it with boxing, rock climbing, firefighting, general labor, great pick me up on the go. It has amino acids, the building blocks of protein, caffeine for muscle recovery and sodium to stay hydrated with extreme heat or heavy activity.

Yummy

Still the best for ease of consumption.
