GU strawberry banana and orange flavor are my favorite! And I love honey stinger waffles as a treat afterwards!!
Gotta love a bar or gel. Thanks for making my Wednesday bearable
Tailwind - Naked flavour. It is a powder mix that I use for ultra running. I found that with gels, after 6hrs, I could NOT consume anymore. With Tailwind I can easily make it through a 100milers
I've not tried many. Just bought some kendal mint cake with chocolate coating. Looking forward to using it on my next long run! 👍🏻🏃♂️
Hello everyone at the Running Channel, I have tried a variety of different nutrition options and have liked cliff bars and chews, gels from Sis and high five. A variety of different flavours is always key, otherwise a whole race with the same flavour can be not good for the stomach!
This summer I learned that I needed variety so, on long runs I bring gels, gummies, bars and of course water and electrolytes drink. Thanks for the video!
Great video as always guys. I’m almost at the point in my running journey where I need to think about fuelling so great timing. And to think I was in a wheelchair three years ago! Keep the videos coming!
I’m running my first half marathon in October, so this video is exactly what I’ve been needing!
Great video thanks Anna and Rick! I’m quite new to the running gels/bars/chews and this video helped. Can’t wait to try and see what works for me
Informative and well researched video as always. Thanks a lot guys!
This is super helpful! I've just been using dextrose tablets but great to know there's so much more out there, would love the chance to try some of these out before my half marathon!
Great video, just found the channel and absolutely love it. I am just training for my first half marathon and this video was really useful :)
I'm definitely looking forward to trying some of these! I really haven't seen many of these brand options in my running stores! Definitely will come in handy as I start training for my first ever marathon!! Thank you @therunningchannel!
Always super informative. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Great vid. Tons of useful info. Thank you
Fantastic review lots to consider! Thamk you
Great info! Thanks!
Love this channel and all it’s content.
I’m starting to do longer runs and have been wondering what gels or bars I might need so this we really useful. Thanks guys xx
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Been using sis seems to be doin it’s job , love the channel and the training program you guys have on the site y’all are awesome !
Love the video starting to try different gels ready for marathon training 😊
I don't run far enough yet to need nutrition but love that a video is out there about this. I also cycle so definitely doing all the research I can about this.
Just been catching up on your videos, this was very informative, thank you
Thanks for the video guys! I’ve always concentrated on my hydration as the priority during a long run (1.5hr +) but definitely starting to see nutrition as equally important the older I get! SIS gels and High5 drink mix has always worked for me.
Fantastic content as always 👏👏
The older I get the more help I need to keep my energy levels up. Thanks for the knowledge.
You are so welcome Mike! Hope you're finding some good tips here 😊
Thanks this has been really helpful
Saw new items to try. Thank you. This was helpful.
So glad!
Running Channel videos always coming at the perfect time it seems! Looking for nutrition for my long runs now as I'm training for my first half marathon race.
Brilliant. Thanks for the insight. Love you all!
You guys are the best. I love watching your videos! I’m training for my first marathon so all the information about nutrition is extremely helpful! I’ve only tried stroop waffles but want to try other kinds of fuel.
Thanks for a fab vid, never tried gels, chews or bars, but willing to try some after watching you guys.
Hey guys! It's always interesting to hear your opinions on things like this. There are so many options out there and, when you're standing in the aisle staring at the multitudes of types, colours and flavours, it can be quite daunting so you just end up going with what you know (which may not be the best thing for you at the time). You don't often think about practical things like portability and ease of access (guilty of this myself) and end up trumping for the biggest bang in terms of kJ or carbohydrates. So, thank you for putting in the time to do this for us TRC!
An incredibly helpful video. I'm currently searching and testing gels and such as I increase my running distances and this video is very useful. Thanks again!
Thank you for the good info
Am new to marathon training, just started using GU energy gels and so far so good, but it is great to know there are so many other options available. Thank you for doing these videos!
This is helpful, thank you! I definitely need to up my nutrition game!
I love this!! I struggle with what to take on my long runs and when to take it.
great video ,very helpful 😃
You guys gave me a lot of options to choose from I really appreciate it.
Great video @runningchannel. Very informative for us beginners.
This video helps a lot for my next HM training, deciding based on various factor other than just based on brands and flavor 👍🏻
Great video, very informative. I love everything cherry flavoured, those gels sound delicious.
Lots of options it can be quite overwhelming. Thanks for the breakdown of some of these. Really helpful!
Informative video. Thank you! 🏃🏻🚴🏻♂️🏃🏻
Thanks Anna and Rick! I am training for my first marathon and have been thoroughly enjoying your nutrition, hydration and training videos. I just tried my first gels this past month; GU and Huma. Also, the MountainFuel FeelGoodBar looks delicious!
As someone about to start training for my first marathon and has never had a gel or chew in my life...I really appreciate this video!
Really informative video, thanks guys. Definitely going to try the Buzz Power gels 👍👍👍
Love the video! Would love to try one of the options you spoke about!!! Gu and SIS have been past favorites, but some of these seem like great options to try...
Thanks for the info, I've only really tried sis gels and high5 ones so will definitely try some of the things on this video 😁 cheers 👍🏻
So much choice, so many options....slowly working my way through the very many gels available out there. Definitely favouring the gels over the bars and the chews. Thank you, as always, for all the very useful info
Great video, perfect timing for me. Going to do my first ultra in September and trying to figure out what to eat is a minefield with everything you can get. We'll worth a watch and thanks again. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Goodluck!
Great video, particularly grateful for the heads up on how chews can be difficult.
At the moment, especially through the warmer months I concentrate more on hydration, using high5 tablets, but I do make sure I fuel up before a run and have emergency gummies with me. Have not got on well with gels as they seem to thick and sickly. Will have to look more into this area as I'm a back of the pack runner doing the GNR for the first time, followed in a fortnight's time with a trail half in Northumbria!
Thanks for the video, always good to get some reviews before trying. I did start off using SIS and then moved onto Torque gels. Would be great to try out some of the different bars and gummies 😊
Thanks for all the info because I have zero clue where to start! I'm a brand new runner (really a jogger at my pace) and I love this channel for how to be a runner and to keep myself going.
Great video guys
Thanks for the information! I'd fancy trying out a range of nutrition options, it's hard finding the right one!
Training for my first half marathon and for the first time hitting 2hr runs. I was just looking into gels and you posted this! Great coincidence! Now I have a good idea of what to try first
Thanks for that. Got back from Triathlon training today and definitely needed this as struggled with my energy levels and very heavy legs in the run!
What distance ?
Great video, great overview of products, have yet to try using chews, but got to say those waffles sound good🤗
Thanks for such a great video - am running VLM in October, and struggle to fuel. This has helped me get sorted! :-)
I'm gonna be running my first half marathon in September. Your videos have been so helpfull in my running journey :)
Great knowledge it’s amazing what’s on the market. Running my first marathon this year and always been apprehensive on gels/nutrition choice and only taken choc bars or jellybabies so much to think about.
Super video..thanks
Oh, heck yeah! I love learning about and trying new fuels. I've been experimenting lately and learning a lot about my body. I just discovered Spring energy and love them!!
I use SiS all the time. You have now opened my mind to other gels now. Great vlog thank you ❤️✌️🏴
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Great video. Running nutrition baffles me so thanks for an informative video.
Great video, love some clif chews on my long runs :)
I’m doing my first half marathon in October. Hadn’t thought I would need to refuel during it, but definitely think I will consider it a bit more now
Hi Rosie, to be honest I really would use gels. Although you will have adrenalin to get you started I usually have one while waiting to begin and then at six and twelve miles. This way you should have plenty of energy all the way through but it may be worth bringing a couple extra, just in case. I do bring a bottle of Lucozade Sport with me but that's mainly because i hadn't used the gels much and it's a security blanket! Good luck and see you on the start line. Kevin
I'm with you on that! I'm running my first half in September. I just did my first 13-mile trial and found myself losing speed at miles 5 and 8.. Thinking of trying some gels to keep me going!
I just did my first half marathon 2 weeks ago! During my long runs in training, I found myself flagging after 60-90mins and carrying some gels and gummy bears around helped me push my training distances. On my actual race day, I took 2 gels and 2 packets of gummy bears with me in my hydration pack and finished them all!
Depending on the type of running you do, you may not need it. If in your training at HM speed, do you feel yourself lagging? There are lots of fat adapted runners that can tap that fuel for runs.
Love the video, just getting ready for Brighton marathon.
I am mostly concentrating on hydration right now but for the longer runs that are coming I am starting to check up on those gels and stuff! Very informative video!
Love these options! I've recently been trying Honey Stinger chews. I like that they don't get stuck in my teeth and agree that a chewing strategy is needed for chews.
I’m working towards my first half marathon so appreciate the advice on fueling!
Thanks for the video. I love the Huma gels.
Thanks for the review. There are so many options out there. I don’t know where to start.
Thanks for that great comprehensive advice! You answered loads of my questions in one film! My fave are Clif Bloks - but do tend not to chew them well enough - as you pointed out - running and chewing isn’t great! Thanks again for all your super info! ☺️ 🙏
Thanks for the advice Anna and Rick! I've only ever tried Clif Bloks. Which haven't worked that well for me but I'm nervous to try anything new!
Figuring out nutrition is fun lol. There are soooo many good options. Thank you TRC for helping us sort it all out 😁
Thanks for the video! I haven't ever used gels before but I am considering using them now for an upcoming half marathon.
Great video! Received a pack of Energy Gel Aquas (as that's what's going to be the supplied gels on the marathon) Trying to get used to them at the moment! My long run took me 20miles eating bars so I can definitely understand Ricks Chew Breathe madness haha. Keep up the great videos :)
Thanks Anna and Rick! Interested to try out those honey ones.
Great advice guys
great advice and video
Thanks for the great video guys 👍 I absolutely love gummies and sweets for energy during running and high5 hydration tablets! I'm trying to get used to gels so if I won this it would be a great opportunity to try some more 🤞🏻
Really helpful video - thank you. Currently using Dextrose tablets and practising with all the other options x
Thank you for posting this video. It's quite useful to have a reference on the pros and cons of an array of running fuel. Typically, I would buy whatever is on sale or has the highest ratings but this reminds me of other valuable factors.
Another useful video! I'm training for my 3rd 50k, and finally realized nutrition is key to keeping me out of the "pain cave". I thankfully have a strong stomach, but I get sick of things quickly, need a variety, and need to mix gels with chewy things, or I feel like I'm STARVING! Unfortunately, I've also got a tight budget, so buying many things to try is difficult. This was useful in sorting through many options!
This is so interesting! I'm considering doing a 20K race next year and will definitely need those
I’ve literally just purchased my first hydration vest and it has arrived today. I am super excited to give it a try and this will give me the means to go for and train for longer runs. I love having something to work towards. I just wanted to share my excitement and hope that people can relate 😆 This video was really informative and interesting, thank you Anna and Rick for spending the time to talk us through them all (I must admit I was quite excited to see Anna and Rick together, I’ve missed them! Everyone on TRC feels like an old friend to chat with ☺️). Have a good day everyone! 🌻
NICE!! My absolute favorite piece of kit is my vest, so I totally get it! 😆
@@Kelly_Ben yes! I’m so glad someone else feels the excitement 😂❤️
Can't wait to start trying them all out on my training! This was super helpful, thank you :) Not sure how I feel about chewing while running though haha
It definitely takes practice! Thanks for watching Andrea 😊
I love honey stinger strop waffles. I also use GU energy the caramel is good, but I have had my stomach revolt with GU. Also another go to on shorter runs are hard boiled eggs!
Definitely be trying some of these, I always fight with my current gels trying to open them! You know the ones 🤣
Great info! Im currently training after having donated blood for the first time, and would love a video about the impacts of blood donation on performance. I (stupidly) didn’t consider how it would affect me but I am definitely feeling it
another great video
Would be nice to try some of the variety of products you had on offer .Good informative video as usual from TRC 👍
Another great video. I use torq and sis gels along with Tailwind nutrition drink. I will check out your recommendations.
thanks for saving me money by narrowing down the options!!!
Thanks for the great video. I use High5 gels and the clif chews.
I haven’t tried all of the products you discussed, so this was so interest.
I'm a newbie to race nutrition so this was a great video for me!
Thanks for the videos. So far I have tried the clif Blocks Chews.
So informative!
I definitely need to branch out and try some new gels and bars, I usually stick to SIS but have been lacking in my nutrition while running! Think I need to find something new!
