Clif Shot Energy Gel (34g)

I brought a bundle of these energy gels for when I ran the Birmingham Half Marathon in October. I used a few of them for the longer training runs and found they gave me a boost (fairly quick after about 10 mins). During the half marathon I was pleased to see that Clif had a stand around the half way mark and handed out energy cubes, which had the same impact as the gels. Will definitely be making another purchase as I train for the Manchester Marathon in April 2020.

Great tasting little shots.

I can't compare these to other gels because these are the only ones that I have ever tried. They are thick and a bit hard to get out of the packet but this flavour for me is just delicious. They give you a kick up the backside when you need it and don't seem to have any adverse effects.

Got the gels to try out as fuel for my firs half marathon in September. I usually only run 5&10k races so have never had a need for gels ect.

Used the first espresso gel as a caffeine boost prior to running a five miler that had 3 miles of a climb at the start; didn't know what to expect given what you hear regarding upset stomachs and the gels not sitting well ect but I have to say I'd no issuies and found the flavour and consistency fine giving the initial boost I needed.

Thus far I would recommend.

I really liked this flavour but it was a bit stodgier (is that even a word?) than other gels. I struggled to consume it it was so sticky. I liked the packaging but the tab saver didn't really work. I kept ripping it off by accident. I never drop litter anyway so it wasn't a selling point for me. I don't think I'll be buying these again just because I prefer a different brand.
