> 3 dayThey 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.

Greater than one weekLove this. Im one of those rare women that can live without chocolate. Yet when I do indulge, I tend to go for the after-dinner chocolate mints or peppermint patty-type of candy. I dont use the packets. I have the coordination of a drunk bear and after cutting my lip trying to open a packet, I bought one of those flasks that you can add sports gels to.This is great. I also like the GU Chocolate Outrage, but this one is more liquidy whereas the Outrage has the consistency of icing, which is okay, but not when someone (me) needs a sugar boost. This has the consistency of chocolate syrup. The flavor is perfect. I have this on monthly order through Amazon for the simple reasons that a) its rare that you can find this flavor in sports stores, and b) my husband treats this like candy.

> 3 dayReally good gu. Helpful on long runs. I used to just use during races, then decided to try on long training runs, after a run where I totally hit the wall. I feel so much more energy during run, and less depleted at the end. I take one before I start, and another after about 45 minutes if Im going to run for at least another half hour. Id like to get another flavor without caffeine for evening runs, but these have been great. Just use with care - you get it on your hands mid run, your are going to be a sticky mess :-)

> 3 dayAdmittedly, the “thicker” flavors are a bit more difficult to get down, especially if the get cold. But I’ve adapted to it. I’m not sure there’s a Gu flavor I don’t like. I’ve been using them for years and will continue to. I also like that they participate in the TerraCycle zero-waste program.
