I think they have an easier texture to choke down and more natural flavor than GU. I also tried honey (honeystinger.com) the other day, and it was pretty easy to get down. I also didn't end up burping it and tasting it the rest of my run like I do with the gels.Candice @ I Have Runhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12353024020794141387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-59218729851770248842011-03-16T14:57:43.035-04:002011-03-16T14:57:43.035-04:00Thanks everyone for the ideas - I will check them ...Thanks everyone for the ideas - I will check them out.

I ran my second 15+ miler of the training season this past weekend and it was a serious struggle - about a 9:30 average but felt much slower. Keep up the good work!<br /><br />I have given up on GU too, but have not found an alternative yet. The Cliff Shot Blocks are pretty good, but harder to carry. Let me know if you find that perfect mid-run nutrition.Tad Scepaniaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-17402013907099704172010-08-16T13:25:53.510-04:002010-08-16T13:25:53.510-04:00I used peanut butter and honey mixed together in a...I used peanut butter and honey mixed together in a squeeze bottle...really need to experiment more to get the proportions correct but its better than any gu glop....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-87615267767813758782010-08-16T11:00:48.357-04:002010-08-16T11:00:48.357-04:00I gave up on GU.
