[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1489285, member: 295621"] This site may be of use to you: [URL]http://www.runsweet.com[/URL] I don't run so much any more, but I am a keen cyclist - both road and mountainbike. I use energy gels and they work very well. I buy boxes of the High5 brand from Chain Reaction Cycles as they always have good sales on. My personal preference on the bike is to wear a camel pack with a few scoops of this stuff in it. So I have about 90g carbs across 1.5L of water, so I can get it on board pretty fast if need be.

My method of working out how much glucose I need to take on-board is by working out my average BG drop over half an hour and then taking the right amount gels every half an hour to keep my BG stable.
