Another long run this past weekend so I tested two new fueling options.

This week it’s Precision Fuel & Hydration’s Carb & Electrolyte Drink Mix and watermelon chews as I continue preparing for the Mountaineer Rumble 100-miler.

Will either make it into my running vest? Watch for my first impressions!

Another long run in the books… and here is another review of some new to me Gu Flavors.

This week’s taste test featured Salted Watermelon (with caffeine) and Strawberry Banana (without caffeine).

One definitely stood out a little more than the other, but you’ll have to watch to see which one I’d reach for again.

Have you tried either of these? Or do you have a favorite GU flavor I should add to my list?

Drop your recommendation in the comments.

I finally got around to trying a couple of new (to me) GU Energy flavors that I picked up at RIA Summit.

One was a traditional GU Energy Gel, while the other was one of their newer Liquid Energy options. I was curious to see how they compared in both taste and texture, especially since fueling can make or break a long run or ultra.

In this quick review, I share my first impressions, which one I’d grab again, and whether the Liquid Energy format is worth adding to my race day kit.

Have you tried either of these? Let me know your favorite GU flavor in the comments. I’m always looking for new fueling ideas before my next ultra.
