Hi, I have been using Gu gels and I like them. Light and powerful and taste great. Had been buying from Wiggle, but looks like they have discontinued. Everywhere else seems expensive, way over £1.50 each, anyone know of anywhere a good bit bit cheaper? If not anyone have any suggestions what to turn to? I have enough left in stock for Manchester Marathon (some caffeine ones for later in the race) ill use the SIS ones on offer earlier on in the race but need some new stock for later on in the summer. Wiggles mixed selection of Gu gels was ideal. Gutted its stopped. MAG |

Obvious question. Have you tried Amazon? I’ve a near full boycott on Amazon but the only thing left I buy from them is gels. My preferred option is High5 been using them for years. Most other brands I’ve tried I’m okay with but to different extents. |

I use the Wiggle own brand ones. Not an answer to the question you were posing, but at 35p each in some flavours at the moment they are worth a punt.

I could post you some Gu gels if you don't mind them being about five years out of date, MAG  (I bought lots because in my head I'm the sort of person who does ultras rather than parkruns, but I probably get through about six gels in a year.)

Larkim, I saw those and thought about it and i will probably try them, but im 2 weeks from my A race marathon and for that race ill stick to what I know. 2 Gu in my pocket (with caffine) and use SIS ones on offer. I read that they are not tasty - but do they do the job? Velociraptor - thank you. Errrrr 5 years.......haha! Hmmmm. Thanks tho
