Jeffrey Hammond, Foot Doc, ultrarunner, cool dad.
This is one of the easiest gels I've found to take during long runs and races. The texture goes down smoothly, the flavor is mild without being overly sweet, and most importantly, it keeps my stomach happy even late into an event when fueling becomes a challenge. I appreciate the simplicity—30 grams of carbohydrates, easy fueling math, and no unnecessary extras. When you're hours into a race and your stomach starts becoming picky, this is one of those gels you can still take without having to talk yourself into it. Simple, effective, and stomach-friendly—exactly what I want from a race fuel. 🏃♂️⚡️

The staple. One every 20-30 minutes, no exceptions. Easy on the stomach and on the tastebuds. I took just these and the caffeinated version for 15 hours straight at Javelina 2025, no regrets or voms, so we’ll be running that back this year.

The first gel I used that reliably went down well and I could use consistently throughout an ultra. Non-offensive flavor, slightly sweet like clear rock candy in gel form. Consistency is tolerable over long periods.
