Science in Sport Go Isotonic Energy Gel, Lemon Lime, 6 Count

My friend recommended this to me after I complained about tummy issues with the gels I used to use. These are super easy to swallow and don't require water like most gels, so that's great if you are in a pinch with no water. The flavor is fine. I mean, it's a gel, I'm not looking for a five star menu item here. My only gripe (is it even a gripe?) is that they recommend consuming several of these during a long run and there's just no way I can do that. I have been using one per 90-120 minutes and that has been working for me. If I were running a marathon, I'd likely consume one every 60 minutes. You need to play with the amount as you train and do what works for you. Overall, I'd recommend this to my endurance athlete friends out there.

I originally tried a couple of these when they were handed out during a half marathon earlier this year and found them tolerable, so I figured I'd stock up now that I am training for a marathon. Overall, I really like these compared to a lot of the stuff on the market. As others have mentioned, the taste isn't amazing - I think of it like watered down gatorade - but they also aren't overly sweet and there is no chalky taste in my mouth or gunk stuck in my teeth like chews do. It's very easy to get down. Lemon & Lime is my favorite so far. The biggest pro so far is that they seem to be a lot gentler on my stomach! I don't like to haul water with me when I run, so I like that I can eat these whenever I want instead of having to wait for a drinking fountain on my path. The only downside for me is that they are a bit bulkier, so my pack is a bit fuller at the start of my run.

Having used almost every energy gel product out there, I was anxious to try SiS Energy Gel over the course of a few 2 hour + training rides that I was putting in for some upcoming endurance events (I always try new products in training settings before trusting them enough for a race). I found the taste of the lemon & lime to be neither lemon nor lime, sort of a bland citrus like flavor, which wasn't horrible, it just didn't wow me. To be fair, most energy gels don't taste all that great anyway. The consistency is true to how they describe it, more of a liquid rather than a gel, so it actually empties out of the sachet rather than having to squeeze it out, like with other brands. This makes it a little easier to actually get in the mouth rather than all over your hands (and gloves, and shift levers, etc). The main thing I do not like is the low calorie count, about 80 calories per sachet. For a 3 or 4 hour event, I would need to stuff my pockets with these if I were going to rely on them as my main energy source. I am looking forward to trying some of the other flavors, especially the ones that have caffeine.

Used these training for and during an Ironman and they did wonders. Put 6 of them in my water bottles for the bike and they kept the carbs and energy flowing. In my opinion the lemon lime is the best tasting. If you are training for an endurance race then these are a must have.
