Great video. Thank you! I’ve tried so many and have landed on Gu Liquid Energy as it also contains electrolytes. But my legs still seem dead near the end of long runs. I’m taking them every 30 minutes - could it be too much?

The dead legs is likely the result of something in training, not a fuel issue.

Most I’ve ran is 19 miles and that’s only on some 200g caffeine C4 pre, is this runners gel considered cheating you can’t run it without it ?

This is intriguing because it's just all natural ingredients that just help your body push forward You still have to earn those miles
