As my distance runs have lengthened, I have started to experiment with sports energy gels. I have tried 2 different brands so far.
The first:
High5 Energy Gel - orange flavoured.
HORRID!! Though in defence of the gel, I did not take this in the correct manner - i.e. with water. I might revisit this gel at a later date.
The second, which I have tried twice:
PowerBar Gel - Strawberry and banana flavour. This, when taken with water, was just bareable. I haven't felt a huge surge of energy as a result of taking them, but perhaps as I extend my runs still further I might feel some measureable effect...
Today I bought 2 new gels (Organic Mule bars, two flavours), and some JellyBelly sports beans...I'll report back... :-)
