    I havent tried too many of the other gel products on the market, so this review may not have much context. However, the Gu gels have been great for my needs. I first tried the sampler pack, with a variety of gel flavors, and settled on the Espresso Love flavor. Im currently training for the Chicago Marathon, and Ive had Gu with me since my first long run of 6 miles. I recently finished a 20 mile run with 4 gels in my fuel belt, and Ill say that these things are a necessity for any run over an hour. The espresso flavor is pretty tasty and has a bit of a savory flavor. Recommended if you are a runner logging long miles.

    I use gels for every race and for time trial workouts. Only use ones with caffeine to get that extra pop. Tried these and it was like WOW. You can feel the pep...like jet fuel vs diesel compared to my other gels. Highly recommend. Costs more, but not a deal breaker.

    They give just enough of a boost of energy during a long hike (11 miles) I use two when I start to feel sluggish. I was worried the caffeine would bother my weak stomach or make me feel jittery but I had not negative reactions.

    My new favorite flavor of GU!! It used to be Mocha.... now it is definitely Caramel Macchiato. It tastes just like a sweet shot of coffee. I am a triathlete and use these during workouts and races. I consume one within the first 30 minutes of biking (after the swim). If its an half Ironman race, Ill consume two during the bike leg. I have yet to attempt slurping one down during the run (fear of choking, I guess?), but I know many who do with success. :) Again.... Caramel Macchiato.... YUM!

    These things are fantastic. My wife and I carried several of them with us when we ran our first half marathon, and Im convinced there were times that these were the only things keeping us going. The flavors are great, personally I like the chocolate and coffee flavors best but my wife loved the caramel and vanilla so everyones happy! This pack came with a ton of them too, we carried quite a few with us to the half marathon and there were a lot left over so I took some to work to get me through night shift. These little guys pack quite a punch, and I was surprised by how much energy I got from one little pouch, and the energy didnt wear off too fast either. Highly recommended for runners or anyone living on caffeine and looking for a better alternative to guzzling energy drinks all night when youre too tired to be operating heavy machinery but still are expected to do so.
