Gel Mix Bulk Bag by Open Fuel — The gel mix is a recent addition to the Open Fuel lineup, and it's quickly become a part of my main fueling plan. I only recently started using it, but I'm already hooked. I really appreciate the approach to reducing waste by eliminating individual gel wrappers. It's simple to carry a flask and fill it with exactly as much fuel as you need for your run. The taste is great, it’s not overly sweet and is enjoyable even late into long efforts. You can even mix in a little drink mix if you want to dial in a specific flavor.
It's been fueling my long runs as I build toward my next race - Waldo 100K.
Ultra Fuel Sports Drink Mix by Open Fuel — I've tried a bunch of nutrition products over the years, but never really found one that worked well for me late into training runs or races. That changed when I started using Open Fuel, beginning with the drink mix.
Most recently, it’s the fuel that got me through the Badger Mountain Challenge 50 Miler. I never experienced any palate fatigue, it stayed refreshing the entire race on a hot day, and the carb/electrolyte ratio seems to be exactly what my body needs for long efforts.
Every flavor has been great, but the one currently filling my flasks is Radical Raspberry Ripple.
Superblast 3 by Asics — New addition to my shoe rotation and already hooked. Best Superblast yet

Valhalla Vest by Terignota — The Terignota vest is the only vest that has really worked for me. I'm normally a belt guy, but after using this vest during a 50 miler, I'm sold.
The bottles stay secure, the bungees let you dial in the fit exactly how you want it, and the overall fit stays comfortable for hours. Plus, who doesn't like a white vest?
And for a vest that performs this well, being well under $100 is hard to beat. Yes please.

Dera B01 Trail Running Belt by Dera Running — The storage on this belt is the real deal. Combined with the BOA dial, you can dial in the fit exactly how you want it to ensure there's no bounce, even when carrying a lot of gear and nutrition.
It's been a total game changer when it comes to storage on long runs.
