I eat 3 packs of GU gel for a FM race and I think the taste of GU is better than Powergel.作者: josam 時間: 2010-2-9 10:58
朱古力溶左真係好似... , 上年試過今年唔再食了. powergel雖然唔好味不過外觀點都好過溶左既朱古力. 作者: derek_cat 時間: 2010-2-9 17:13

Actually I don't think a gel can provide enough energy for a 45 minute-run.
For example, a GU gel gives you 100kcal and running for around 10-15 minutes (depends on speed and body weigth) can already burn all 100kcal.
It is impossible to compensate ALL the energy expenditure during FM race. However, energy gel can compensate at least some of the energy (and electrolyte) expenditure and provide caffeine to maintain your performance. Also it is easy to be digested and absorbed by our body.
Besides, I conside the gel as a small small gift to reward myself for running such a long distance. This makes me less painful mentally especially during the last 10k of the race.
