When to use energy gels

Energy gels work best when you need fast carbohydrates during exercise. They are practical for running, cycling and racing because they take little space and require minimal chewing. For the wider starting point, see the full sports nutrition and vitamins section.

Shorter races

For a shorter event, one tested gel before the start or during the effort may be enough. Avoid trying a new product for the first time on race day.

Energy alternatives

If you want a more filling option, compare with energy bars. After exercise, recovery can be supported with protein drinks.
