The format is also more compact than a gel, while delivering more energy, making it easier to carry fuel for longer rides. There's a range of five flavors available, two with caffeine when you need that extra stimulation to get you to the finish line. Buyer's guide to the best energy gels Consuming too much carbohydrate means it'll be surplus and go to waste – however, some manufacturers mix their glucose with fructose (fruit sugar) – and research has shown that this can increase absorption to 90g an hour. When is a gel not a gel? When it's a Clif Blok. Clif has abandoned its gels, which were very gloopy and hard to eat, if tasty, in favor of energy chews. Hammer makes its gels with maltodextrin, but supplements this with a mix of grape juice and rice dextrin, which provides much of the fruit flavor. There's also a selection of branched chain amino acids, designed to reduce fatigue, and L-alanine, which is an amino acid that Hammer says helps meet energy demands when you start running low on carbs. Some gels come with additives such as caffeine. Studies have shown that caffeine can boost performance when administered in the correct dosage - but the milligrams per average cup of coffee can vary wildly. The amount in a gel will always be uniform and thus dosage can be properly tailored to requirement.

There are 12 flavors to choose from, the majority of which are free from caffeine, but four contain 89mg of caffeine, delivered via the plant guarana. The caramel latte supplements the guarana with real coffee. But apart from delivering flavors straight from a desert menu, what are the other potential benefits of this particular gel?This is great because it means not only do you not need to carry as many gels with you, but also you’re having to take less on during the run. When training if I don’t have my coach (or Sophie!) on the bike I’ll often turn to gels as they’re so much easier to carry compared to bottles when running and saves having to stop mid run or do loops from the car as I’m confident that the gels will help give me all the fuel I need to complete my run.
