Description

Energy with a bit of caffeine. Each gel delivers 21 to 23 grams of carbs and, depending on the flavour, 20 or 40 mg of caffeine. The gel is fairly thick, so a sip of water helps.

Handy in the long final stage. During marathons, trail runs and ultras you take it when fatigue kicks in or when you need to focus on a technical descent. With ten flavours it's easy to mix things up on a long day.

Not sure? If you want a little caffeine at a time, choose a 20 mg flavour. Looking for a stronger kick? Go for Cola Me-Happy, Jet Blackberry, Caramel Macchiato or Espresso Love with 40 mg.

Test in training how you react to caffeine.

Why GU?

During a long trail you don't want to doubt your nutrition. You want a gel you know, that fits easily in your vest and that you can grab at any moment. That's exactly why we carry GU at Trail.NL.

GU makes small gels in lots of flavours, with and without caffeine. The Roctane line adds extra sodium and amino acids for ultras and long, hard days. With the Hydration Tabs you top up fluid and salt along the way.

For us GU is above all a trusted choice: plenty of variety in flavour, easy to dose and a brand that has been making gels for endurance athletes since the early nineties.

Gel die je met voldoende water moet innemen

Prima gel die bij mij goed op de maag valt. Energie is ok, smaak is ook, de hoeveelheid cafeïne is aan lage kant waardoor je het effect niet echt ervaart. Zorg dat je voldoende water erbij drinkt want de gel is stevig (wanneer het wat frisser is dan wordt de gel alleen maar steviger).
