becca7 Mar 2015 10:51am, 19 Mar 2015 6,161 posts	Quote Pin becca7 I have run marathons fuelled only by sports drinks Mandymoo. Easy to do that at VMLM with the Lucozade Sport stations. This was when I thought I couldn't get on with gels (turns out it is only the Lucozade ones that I don't get on with). Or there are gels that are more palatable e.g. Torq ones. Alternatives to gels are Shot Blocks and dextrose sweets.
PaulaMc Mar 2015 11:07am, 19 Mar 2015 3,151 posts	Quote Pin PaulaMc Shot Bloks for me. I used gels when I first started running but quickly realised that they didn't agree with me.

Mandymoo Mar 2015 12:27pm, 19 Mar 2015 1,638 posts	Quote Pin Mandymoo I have tried Torque gels, Lucozade gels they both seem to upset me. Mind you sometimes I don't need to have anything and it upsets me. I seem to be suffering really badly lately - especially since coming back from Goa, and wondering if there is an underlying bug in my tummy. I cant have Lucozade Sports drink as they upsets me too - maybe I should go back to dextrose tablets.

DuncanG Mar 2015 12:36pm, 19 Mar 2015 772 posts	Quote Pin DuncanG SIS gels are good (for me, at least) and you can get them and other gels either with or without caffeine, which might help. I know the effect caffeine can have on some folks! Hopefully a Thursday expo visit for me.
Mandymoo Mar 2015 12:42pm, 19 Mar 2015 1,639 posts	Quote Pin Mandymoo I don't have caffeine at all - have not had for about 8 years so always have to be careful with gels with that.
James74 Mar 2015 1:58pm, 19 Mar 2015 1,217 posts	Quote Pin James74 Yep- not to fussed about gels, but bought into the caffine gel thing a while ago. Cant remember a thing about that race,did nt make me run faster ither, but each to there own.
RRR-CAZ Mar 2015 9:13pm, 19 Mar 2015 1,172 posts	Quote Pin RRR-CAZ Expo shall be Wednesday for me Always used Lucozade gels as I got them at special rates but as they no longer part of the company not sure what I will use have used SIS. Have had no problem with any Gels. I do find to much sports drink on a run makes me feel sick.
