ONE OF THE BETTER ONES

One of the more effective gels. Vanilla is fine but the other flavours are a bit artificial

LIKE A LITTLE TURBO BOOST!

A good pick me up - legs feels rejuvenated after taking one and they're not too difficult to carry or open on the go.

You need to swallow a LOT of water to get them down and they take a while to get used to. Blackcurrant is my fave because it has caffeine in it.

I've tried most energy gels and this is the one that doesn't send me screaming for the nearest loo. £1.25 in your local supermarket. You can't go wrong....

GREAT POWER BOOSTER - NOT BAD TASTING

Felt a good burst of energy within 5 to 10 minutes of consuming. Did not gag on it. The flavour (vanilla) tasted like what you expect. Was light and compact for storage in running shorts.

Needs to be eaten just before water station as the consistency is thick, so timing is important. The need for it may therefore, not come at an opportune moment in the race, but you need to prepare, don't you.

Fantastic product. Did the Bristol Half and took one at 6 miles and one at 10 miles. Real booster. Felt like I could sprint for the last mile.
