What can one say about the product line of GU except to say – outstanding! Personally, I’ve been using GU products since they first popped up in the Canadian market and sold by Running Free.
I started off with the gel products and quickly moved onto the chews. It really comes down to personal preference as to whether you go gel or chews. The chews themselves are easy to work with and they don’t make your hands sticky. I also find that they are easier to pack in your running belt or pack.
Check out the many flavours that they offer. I’m a fan of caffeine so definately check out the GU flavours with caffeine in them. They won’t get you really wired but they will give you the nice kick when you hit a low during a long run.
Don’t forget to dispose of your empty GU wrappers in the garbage and not the trail or roads!
