Race Ready System

After learning the hard way that you really do need to take on some carbs during a marathon I have tried many different gels over the years. Truefuels are the only brand I have subscribed to receive every month.

used for first time in a race unique taste! It was hotish in pontevedra managed to get 2 gels down on the bike but couldnt stomach another on the run. I think prob get some of the lower salt gels for UK races.

Love them, the taste is great and are very easy on my stomach. Highly recommend

Suffering with severe IBS most gels don’t agree with me. During an Ironman I need something I’m confident in using. 2 Ironman and 2 podiums with 0 loo stops 🙌 definitely gets my vote

New packaging has taken this product from a 4 star rating to a 5 star rating. I use this alongside the rehydration packs and this works superbly. Used these in Tenerife and at the Marmotte Gran Fondo and kept my energy and hydration levels spot on. The great thing with the energy gels is the ease of taking on board - I find I don’t need much water if any to wash down. I have even converted my son onto these, he is fussy but finds them very palatable.

Really like the product. Taste of gel and electrolyte mix very palatable! Certainly more tasty way to fuel during race!

First time taking these and I had no stomach issues at all which is very rare. Will definitely be continuing with these gels.

Great bottle to train with and they stand out in the crowd

Found the gel themselves really effective but getting into the packaging was very hard! We could only make a small hole in it and the gels ended up on the outside of the packet as well, making everything sticky. Should they open more than this?

Nice to have choice about salt content. The gel is very easy in the digestive system... absolutely love the honey taste. Thanks for a great product. Will recommend to all my running buddies as we practice our fueling for Dublin marathon in October.

So far, so good. I'd bought the race ready set up ahead of a 70.3 and have been using the gels and the electrolytes to train. The addition of salt is a pro and con - great in terms of replacing what's lost, but you can taste the salt in the drink especially (less so in the gel). Nonetheless, I'm impressed - no GI distress (yet) and as someone with collitis (and therefore a very sensitive stomache to trying new things) that's key!

Wife loves it

Love the 40g of carbs/gel vs 30, makes it easier to dial in the required amount for longer races. Same for the high salt content, especially in summer training. Also makes the taste is not as sweet as other gels. Solvability in bottles is an added bonus for convenient fuelling in the bike.

Used every time, these are amazing

So far I'm loving the gels, early days but they've worked wonders with my performance and I'm a fan of the 40g of carb's and the salty dual mix is a winner for me. The only negative has been that out of the 60 gels ordered there were a couple that had burst. Not sure why but its left a bit sticky mess and its a shame to waste good energy.

I've been using TrueFuels Energy Gels for a number of months now during longer training sessions, half marathons, Munro hikes, and extended cycling rides, and they've become my go-to fuel source.

What really stands out is the flavour. Unlike many energy gels that can become sickly sweet or artificial tasting after a few hours of exercise, the Trueffuels gels are genuinely enjoyable and easy to take, even when working hard or several hours into an activity.

From a performance perspective, they deliver exactly what I need. The combination of fast-acting carbohydrates and electrolyte salts helps maintain energy levels and replace what is lost through sweat, whether I'm pushing through the latter stages of a half marathon, tackling a long climb in the hills, or spending several hours on the bike.

The consistency is spot on as well. They're not overly runny, which can make gels messy and awkward to use on the move, but they're also not too thick or 'kleggy' like some competitors. They go down easily without needing excessive water afterwards, making them practical during races and outdoor adventures alike.

I've found them easy on the stomach, reliable for maintaining energy, and convenient to carry. Whether I'm training, racing, hiking Munros, or heading out for a long cycling session, they've consistently performed well.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with Trueffuels Energy Gels and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a great-tasting, effective, and easy-to-use energy gel that provides both essential carbohydrates and electrolyte replenishment during endurance activities.

Like the larger size with 40g carbs
Easy to digest nice texture

A good flavour that’s not too sweet, good packaging that stays in one piece and worked well for me on a 64k run. I didn’t notice any immediate issues relating to GI upset.

Shipment was quick and felt the benefits of first test of gel during long run.
