Energy Gels

Energy gels deliver fast, easily absorbed energy during effort. They're the most convenient way to top up glycogen without breaking your rhythm on long cycling, running and trail outings.

How many gels to take per hour

The usual reference on long-duration efforts is between one and two gels per hour, always with water for proper absorption. In competition, it's best to test in training beforehand what you'll use on race day.

When to take them

Before fatigue sets in, not once it's already there. Getting ahead of the energy dip is what keeps your pace steady to the finish.
