    Passionfruit is my current go to. Easy to open, easy to take in (thin), and excellent formulation for long distances.

    Neversecond gels get better every time you have one! They have great flavors and sit well. They can cause flavor fatigue though, so if that is something you struggle with other products may be better.

    I use these to abuse caffeine and stuff my face with stuff that tastes like candy. Passion fruit and cola are my go to’s! I think I was the first person to take one of their gels to the Grand Canyon! I was a pretty early adopter of these. Helps keep my fueling consistent and energy steady through long, hard efforts and speed workouts.

    Makes a world of difference super easy to take down while running and instantly feel a boost of energy. A secret for those hot days, cool them down in the freezer or fridge before using them

    I've always had challenges with nutrition - especially during longer efforts. Neversecond is the only gel that I have found to work for me that are easy to take down, digest, and not cause any GI distress. My favorite flavors are the citrus and orange!

    I started using Neversecond because it is often at aid stations in the races I have been doing. I've had trouble with a lot of gels in the past that upset my stomach in the late stages of a race. I haven't had that experience with these. They also contain sodium, which simplifies my electrolyte regime.

    These gels are more liquid than gel and are very easy to ingest. All the flavors are great and there are even caffeinated gels for when the sun goes down. They are 2:1 glucose:fructose and are easy on the gut.
