@ssecc: Which gels are right for you? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Budget 💸 Tummy sensitivity 🤢 Taste 😋 and grams of carbs are all things to consider but here is a run down of some of the most common ones: SiS ❌ £1.40, 22g Carbs Personally, a no from me as there is no fructose in them 🤯 a fundamental thing to get your tummy on your side and absorption rates up, I wouldn’t recommend their standard gels… High5 🖐🏻 £1.30, 23g Carbs Some of the best value around, a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio ✔️ pretty liquid so good for people who are just starting to take on nutrition during runs as can be easier not to have to chew! Torq 💪🏻 £1.95, 30g Carbs ‼️ Some more advanced (??) flavour profiles 🤪 rhubard and custard anyone? A 2:1 Glu:Fru ratio and a bit thicker, some people love these but definitely an aquired taste… the higher grams of carbs is a big bonus though Gu ⚡️ £2, 23g Carbs Oh she’s THICCCC. Personally a big fan. Huge number of flavours (salted caramel and strawberry banana are my fav but you can range from watermelon salt through to birthday cake….). 2:1 Glu:fru and the thicker texture means they’re more of an eating situation. I personally love how small the packets are which makes carrying them easier. Maurten 🤝 £2.75, 25g Carbs Fancy, but for many the 🐐. A milder flavour, but a very VERY thick consistency. It’s kinda like jelly? They have a 1:0.8 ratio of Glu:Fru which is what the science supports as optimal for gut tolerance. There are lots of others but these are some of the most common!
