JGR Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I must admit - Gels are starting to freak me out. Thye taste and look like something that should not be put in your body.
'Dale Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 which is better gels or gums Gels enter your turbo system quicker than sweets or gum... So, depends on the purpose.Can't compare the two really...
'Dale Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Must you take a gel every 30 minutes? Nope.... Some use it for the final 10 kms of a race when the pace intensifies and/or the energy stores are low.Some use it minutes before a climb. Remember it spikes your energy and then there is the drop.
