5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Fuel for my long-distance runs
Portable, high-energy, and delicious. I’m new to distance running but Gu’s are so ideal for that morale and energy boost it gives me about 45-50 minutes into the run and about every 45-50 minutes afterwards.Some guys say to just suck it down, but I enjoy the taste. The package is very functional and sucks down flat to pack away.I have a number of these in my collection. My favorite two are Chocolate Outrage (the name makes me laugh), and the Raspberry Lemonade ones are fantastic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great fuel for your run if you are a chocolate lover like me!
This is my go to for fuel during a race! It does have a thick consistency so it is best used with water to help with that. It has a great chocolate flavor without that artificial flavor after taste. It’s so easy to use so it won’t slow you down on the go. The caffeine is just right if used as instructed. I recommend using during training runs to see what works best for you come race day. They are a great price compared to what I see at most expos. I recommend buying prior!
4.0 out of 5 stars Does not taste like cola
Brand is good, but the cola me not flavor is not for me. Does it's job and gives energy.
5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! get some
This is not my go to supplement for my long runs. The taste is really good compared to other gels I have had. Normally I’m a textured type of person and tips it’s not right I can’t swallow it. This goes down so easy and taste really good. I open one pack for every 40 mins of running. It does give you a little boost of energy needed to get through my run. I do take it with water and it’s help with the hydration. It packs are just the right size it fits perfect in my running vest.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes Like Dessert, Performs Like Fuel
This stuff tastes exactly like a little shot of chocolate pudding, which was a pleasant surprise - and honestly makes it way easier to take than most energy gels. It’s a small amount of gel for a good amount of energy - I use one before roller derby practice and it gives me the boost I need without upsetting my stomach or tasting like regret. Buying the bulk packs makes it way more affordable but the price is well worth it for the energy boost.Great texture, great taste, and it actually works. Can’t ask for much more in a gel!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, tastes even better!
Tastes like chocolate pudding!All I've heard from the running community about gels is that they're so disgusting and you just have to choke them down. I'm training for a marathon right now and since there will be GU gels available at the race, figured I needed to incorporate them into my long runs. Went with the chocolate flavor because it was on sale (I'm more of a fruity girl so this was a risk). Well I tried these today during my 17 mile long run and all I could say was WOOOOW! This was like having dessert on my run! It was a sweet, silky, delicious chocolate pudding in a compact, easy to carry tube. If anything it tasted too good, I just wanted more immediately!I didn't necessarily feel any kick of energy, but my muscles kept working and I didn't hit a wall. That's all you can ask for, I think. I took a total of 2 gels and ate a banana. Great combo!They didn't hurt my stomach at all. I have a stronger than average stomach I'd say, so probably don't take my word for it unless you're the same.Overall, I highly recommend!
Energizes me during long runs
Love taking these energy gels during my long run.
Surprisingly pleasant for a chocolate gel
Wasn't sure about this flavour (I already like/use GU products) but after reading a review that said they were good, I went for it.The reviewer was right, they are actually very nice on the palate and as usual are good for their main purpose of keeping me upright and moving!
Great taste for best value
I love Gu Energy Gels. They have a great taste and don't upset my stomach at all even when I use them during heavy exercise. They are easy to open and consume on the go. I purchased them on special and should have purchased more!
Überzeugt in Wirkung und Geschmack auf ganzer Linie - Geschmack bombastisch!
Ich war auf der Suche nach der richtigen Energieversorgung für den Marathon. Getränke fielen schnell raus, da sie schlecht zu transportieren sind. Gels gibt es wie Sand am Meer, also habe ich mich erstmal lange mit Zusammensetzung und Inhaltsstoffen beschäftigt und bin bei GU gelandet da hier nicht nur einfacher Zucker oder reine Fructose als Kohlehydratquelle dient. Der hier verwendete Kohlehydratemix wirkt länger. Was mir wichtig war:- guter Kohlehydratmix- kein Fruchtgeschmack- erhöhter Salzgehalt (da ich viel Schwitze beim Laufen)- passende PortionGESCHMACK: Ich mag persönlich Fruchtgeschmack bei Gels gar nicht und das schränkt die Auswahl stark ein. Auch deshalb bin ich bei diesem gelandet. Und was soll ich sagen: Es schmeckt wirklich irre gut! Die Konsistenz wird oft als zu dickflüssig rezensiert was ich nicht bestätigen kann. Trotzdem ist es sicher sinnvoll ein paar Schluck nach zu trinken, was im gut organisierten Wettkampf aber kein Problem ist.WIRKUNG: Man merkt die Wirkung nach 3-4 Minuten deutlich, sodass man das Gefühl hat die Energieversorgung ist wieder hergestellt. Ebenso empfinde ich einen Leistungsboost, was aber vielleicht auch Kopfsache sein kann. Allerdings ist ja auch Koffein enthalten, was auch seinen Teil dazu beitragen könnte. Die Wirkung hält ca. 30-45 Minuten an (je nach Verausgabung), somit reicht mir ein Gel ca. 7-10 km. Meistens nehme ich das erste nach 10km , später ggf kürzere Abstände, somit komme ich mit vier Gels gut über die Marathondistanz.Das Gel lässt sich leicht öffnen und braucht wenig Platz. Ich kann es jedem Empfehlen der es für die Langdistanz verwenden möchte und auch die Nase voll von Fruchtgeschmack hat. Unbedingt ausprobieren es schmeckt so gut dass man meinen könnte es wäre eine sehr sehr ungesunde Süßigkeit:-)
