GU Roctane Energy Gels, Blueberry Pomegranate 24 Pack - 100 Calorie Energy Gel with Carbohydrates, Caffeine, BCAAs and Electrolytes - Pre-Workout Fuel for Running, Cycling, Triathlon and Endurance

At first I wasn't very impressed by how thick and gooey they are, plus the taste isn't great, but they are superb for mountain running when you're really putting your body through it, these make me feel really energised and I haven't experienced any adverse effects whatsoever, no stomach aches or extra toilet breaks required, best gels I've tried to date and I've used a lot, seriously impressed, best results when I take first one 30mins before I start.

This is a brilliant gel, have tried many but this is like rocket fuel. Now my most used gel for racing anything from 10m to ultra marathons. It’s quite concentrated so you’ll need a good mouthful of water to wash I’d down. This is one of the few gels where I really notice it kick in- awesome, taste is quite nice too, especially compared to most other gels in the market

UPDATE: 23 SEP 2017 I've been using the Blueberry Pomegranate for over a year now in many races. The taste is OK but my runner partners all hate it for some reason. The Cherry lime tastes better, but if you hated the Blueberry Pomegranate, you'll probably hate the Cherry Lime. Honestly, when I'm tearing down the road/trail in a race, I couldn't care less about taste. I'm sucking down that gel pack and looking for a bit of hydration, while trying to maintain a competitive pace, locate a garbage can / refuse drop zone, and try to finish a race. I only use the gels at the beginning of a race, or in the middle if it is longer than 45 minutes (like a 10K, 10 miler, half marathon, etc...) Original review: I purchased the Blueberry Pomegranate flavor and am glad I did so because it tastes great. It tastes just like their chews, except in semi-liquid form. It goes down very easily without the need for water. I find that it really does give me the energy I need to finish my race or activity. The instructions say to take it 5 minutes before, and every 45 minutes afterwards. My stomach doesn't digest stuff as quickly, so I have to experiment with how early to take it prior to a race. If you're going to run a race or participate in an event longer than 30 minutes, I highly recommend packing these gels. So far, the BCAAs have not upset my stomach. The caffeine really does work.

Long Distance running.

GU energy roctane is quite easy to take in running, taste is good, sweety but okay. Not easy to confirm 100% but feel this is a good fuel for long distance

Delay in delivery I have received the GU box in damaged condition and all gel scatters inside the plastic bag !!!

I used this for training and during my first marathon. Great results.
