GU Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel is the energy gel that started it all. In 1993, Dr. Bill Vaughn developed the world’s first energy gel to help his daughter perform better during ultra-marathons, and GU has been helping to propel the world’s most successful extreme athletes to success ever since. GU Energy Gel sustains all forms of athletic activity with a highly compact, portable, and calorie-dense packet that is loaded with carbohydrates that can be rapidly absorbed. Branched-chain amino acids limit muscle fiber damage and increase speed of recovery, and extra electrolytes help maintain water balance. Some flavors feature caffeine to increase concentration. While the original formula has been tweaked and evolved over the years, the end result is still the same: GU Energy Gels fuel the best endurance athletes in the world. GU Original Energy Gel comes in a wide variety of good tasting flavors. Each packet contains 450mg of Amino acids, 100 calories, and at least 21g total carbs.

Great fuel for long runs!
These work well for my 10+ mile long runs. Yes, they are sweet but they do not upset my stomach. I am better able to run with good form during long runs when I use these gels for fuel. During long races I use one of these at the start but during the race I use the 20mg caffeine gels as the 40mg caffeine is too much for my stomach to handle when I am running hard for an extended distance. I have tried the Maurten Gels which are less sweet but Gu works better for my sensitive stomach.

Running marathon for the first time, this product is not dry at all, after eating it, you can feel the energy in your legs effectively, although not lasting long

These are yummy and give me the boost I need when hiking strenuous trails. The packages are small so donât take up much space. I love this flavor!

Burst of energy I needed…
I have just started training for a 50 mile Ultra. During my training after running for an hour or more it became a struggle to have the energy to continue. I was previously using Starburst and other snacks to fuel my runs however many times they would effect my stomach in a negative way so I decided to give these gels a shot after reading the reviews. I chose the Jet Blackberry because they have caffeine in them. The texture and consistency is like honey and they are probably as sticky as honey. They are very easy to open and I was able to fold the wrappers with little effort and store in my pack. They didn’t make a huge mess in my pack when doing this. They are very easy to consume while running and after about 10 minutes I did feel a nice burst of energy. I had a lot less cramping and upset stomach on the day I tried these gels. The flavor was good. It wasn’t the best snack ever however it wasn’t difficult to get down and tasted very similar to a fruit roll up but not quite as sweet. I will continue to use these gels throughout my training. I feel like they are a necessity for long runs. Next I would like to try the Roctane version.

On the sweet side
We used them for a long time and keep coming back to it even after trying more expensive ones .Used them on my long runs and races starting after mile 3 .They are in the sweet side – so be aware.

These gels are one of the best brands for running performance. A little on the thick side, but this flavour tastes better than most other gels.

My go to gel for long runs

If you use GU you know what its about, cant beat the price from Amazon vs bike/sports stores.

I switched to these gels from the Sports in science gels. Size wise a key factor on a long run or cycle you can easily fit a few into a pouch. Taste & texture is good (must be washed down with some water) however the added caffeine gives you that little extra boost which & the other ingredients is already helping your recovery. Glad I went for the BlackBerry Gel probably the best flavour. Also these are Gluten free & Vegan friendly!
