    I only use Clif gels - I like the double espresso one with caffeine. I tried the Clif shot blocks but they were too hard to chew.

    I really like the both the honey stinger gels and chews. I was mainly relying on the chews until i ran my first marathon and was concerned with carrying so much "Stuff" so I switch to GU Gel's for the last part of training and the full and hated them. I have now found the honey stinger gels and like those so much better, but they are sweet! Their chews are really easy to eat..

    Just started using the Huma Gels and I find they digest really easy and taste great. When I want something with more substance, I like Larabars.

    It's really hot & humid down here so I like to mix Vega Sport Electrolyte into my CamelBak for runs longer than 10. I haven't had any cramping issues yet nor do I take any sodium supplements.

    I'm a cheapskate.........I make my own (3 parts honey, 1 part molasses, a pinch of salt and a little water to thin it out) 1 gel flask is about the same as 4 or 5 gel packets.
