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.
