#188: The gel review show! Testing out different options for fuelling your long runs and races and what to look out for

Sometimes finding a gel that you like and works for you can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There are a lot of options out there and we don't all have the same tastes.

In the last couple of months, I have been trying out more options so that I can recommend (or otherwise!) gels for people with different tastes or needs.

This week, I take you through the gels I've used in the past and some of the newer ones I've tried recently. I look at the things you need to consider when selecting your gels.

Finally I cover the 'extras' you might want to include in your gels such as electrolytes and caffeine, when these can be a good idea and when you might want to have these separately.
