I LOVE GU!
Earlier this year, a friend introduced me to GU at the racetrack which he uses to give him energy before a race on his motorcycle. He assured me that this energy gel worked wonders within 15minutes and without any sluggish feeling afterwards. So I tried some that day as I was feeling fatigued, recovering from an illness and could use the energy..... Then I fell in love! This stuff really works & tastes fantastic!!
So with my 1/2 Marathon around the corner & training getting more intense, I started using GU before long runs to give me the energy I need (ok and the yummy taste is also a treat).
A runners blog I follow by a woman called Monika http://monikaruns.blogspot.com/ (Fantastic blog!) was running a competition where you could win 20 packs of GU & 2 SF Marathon Sweatbands - I WON!!!
I now have enough supply for the 1/2 Marathon & then some!! Thanks Monika!
