Train with gels to teach your stomach to absorb carbs efficiently when it matters most. Research shows just two weeks of practice dramatically improves tolerance and performance.
Here are 4 essential gel training tips from our friends at SiS:
Train after meals and eat solid foods during training to get used to exercising with food in your stomach.
Gradually increase the amount of carbohydrate you consume every hour during training, using your chosen products.
Drink regularly during training, particularly for warm weather runs when you’ll need to consume more fluid.
Choose the right sessions. Long runs or race specific sessions are ideal for practicing your fuelling strategy.
