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.

ICYMI: I launched this new site about 2 weeks back

Would love y'all to check it out.... and yes I went with the obvious tie-in to the current "heat dome" that we are under here in The South, reminding y'all how important pacers are no matter the conditions! Hot. Cold. Wet. Muddy. The need is real!

Stay hydrated my friends!

Back home from @trailcontahoe and am still on a bit of a buzz.

Just sharing a small clip of what I saw and felt on the decent from one of our group runs.

Happy Friday everyone!
