I was reading Runners World in my e-mail and they were talking about Clif Shot Bloks. Has anyone tried these? What are your thoughts on them?

    I use them sometimes on my bike rides. They're good! I like the taste of them. . . as far as a fast fuel, I think I get better results from the Gu packets.

    Are they called shot bloks too? I've never heard of any of those things before but then again, I'm new to running.

    My hubby tried them and felt the exact same way as jendayho. He runs, not bikes.

    Next payday I'm going to get some and see how they work for me. I love this new lifestyle. Running is like a whole new world that I never imagined I'd ever be a part of. It's so exciting and so many new things to learn all the time! :bigsmile:

    I forgot to mention that my husband also uses Swedish Fish instead of shot block-type things when he's on a long run. That may be a cheaper option for you. This isn't my area of expertise, but I know my hubby doesn't use these type of things (GU, Swedish Fish....) unless he's on a fairly long run. He's doing marathon training right now so some days he's running 3-5 miles & other days 12-16 miles. Pretty much unless he's in/over the 6 mile mark, I don't think he uses anything but water while running. You may want to research that a bit so you don't add in extra calories/carbs for no reason. Just my thoughts....

    I LOVE shot blocks... they are the only ones that I really like, the gu has a disgusting texture to me...
