RUN GUM Variety Pack Energy Gum 50mg Caffeine Taurine & B-Vitamins per Piece, 24 Pieces (Pack of 12 Assorted Flavors), 2 Pieces = 1 Coffee or Energy Drink, Sugar Free, Zero Calories

Usually I buy this product at my local running store. I bought this product because I could get the same size box as my favorite running store and have a variety of flavors vs. one box of all the same flavor. Honestly, they are about the same price as buying local, but I like that they offer the variety flavor option. Great energy and fuel for my long runs and weekend races.

It starts out as a tablet and then turns to gums. It’s good but it is a little weird getting to the gum stage. It does have a little after taste but it gives me so much energy.

Flavors are oh-kay. Gum gets really soft and mushy after a very short amount of time despite having saliva and water on hand to swish around and do a rinse. It does, however, boost your energy and for that I give it four stars because when I imbibe in the run gum I get a lot done 😉

I had gotten the variety pack to try out different flavors. Personally, I like the mint and bubble gum the most. You need to eat to eat 2 pieces for a full dose of caffeine. Although, that can be handy for people trying to cut back. Only issue is that the flavor doesn't last very long!

I was first tried Run Gum for a specific purpose: I wanted an energy boost before early-morning miles, but my stomach can't handle coffee right before a workout. It's amazing for precisely that, but I've found that it's perfect for so much more. I've relied on Run Gum for everything from setting my steeple PR to surviving my law school exams. My mom just used it to get through the wall of her first marathon! It's jitters-free and very convenient to have on hand, since it comes in small packets each containing one serving. I always order the variety pack because I like to mix it up, but the Fruit flavor is my favorite!
