Efficient
Nice flavour and works well during a long workout.

Kick in fast, taste great but a bit pricey
These are probably the best tasting gels I have used so far, they are also the most effective energy gels I have used when marathon training. Took one out with me on a 16 mile run this morning, vanilla bean flavour. I had some of the gel 5 minutes before and then once every 45 minutes while I was running. The taste is great, they are sweet but not sickly and I feel them kick in almost immediately. The only negative is the price.

Great for morning runs
These are perfect for having before or during a long run to keep energy up. I like to run in the mornings but I can't get up early enough to give a meal time to settle before a run. These Gu gels are great for this as I can have one then run immediately after, they never give me stomach trouble, and the caffeine gives you a little extra boost. The packets are also leak-proof and easy to tear open while you're on the go if you want to eat one while running. The salted caramel flavor is delicious too which helps!

Used to be my fave gel
I used to use this all the time but switch to something else as this is a bit sweet over an Ironman. Now i use it for a single gel a race to give the taste buds a treat and change from my gel of choice that i use now. It’s great tasting gel but can be a bit strong to continuously use only this over say an Ironman. Perfect secondary gel.

Yum, & they work.
These are great. Previously used SIS which were a bit more watery and didn't 'last' as long. First tried them as were at the pit stops on the silverstone half marathon. The GU ones are quite thick, bit like piped icing going onto a cake. Taste great without being sickly, recommends around every 45mins so last longer than others do. Overall very pleased

couldn’t run a marathon without them
Have used an abundance of different gels in my time running. Gu are for me up there in the best category. Great taste, not to sickly like some other brands, have used them consistently to get over the tough barriers during a race.

An excellent energy gel with great consistency and flavours
Switched to GU gels from High5 six months ago and prefer the GU consistency/flavours and I carry fewer of them. I use one every 45-60 minutes during a marathon and don't get the sticky residue on my hands and clothes that I got with lighter, sugary gels. The Vanilla Bean and also the Chocolate Outrage are two of my favourite tasting GU's but Lime, Strawberry and Salted Caramel also very pleasant. Great product.

Taste lovely
These taste lovely. I don't like eating anything on a long run as it makes me feel sick. Also most gels make me feel sick, but these were lovely and I didn't feel any sickness with them

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 Portion GESCHMACK: 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:-)

Für mich sind die Gels von GU einfach die besten. Super Geschmack und die dickflüssige Konsistenz mag ich einfach.
