Not all gels are created equal! Some are definitely better than others but it also comes down to your personal preference on flavour, texture, cost and how gels fit into your overall race nutrition plan. 

In this episode I talk you through triathlon nutrition gels:
What to look for when buying gels
Can they be mixed with water? And what does Isotonic mean?
Do gels need to be consumed all at once?
Why do gels upset some athletes stomachs? Plus two suggestions on how to fix this
How much do you need during endurance events?
Alternatives to gels all together!

Sports gels are a big minefield of information with new products coming on the market all the time. But I’m hoping this episode fast tracks your research when it comes to finding what’s best for you.
