Anyone tried Spring Energy gels?

Sage MF Canaday is sponsored by them. I know someone who tried them, caused stomach issues. Apparently a chewy gel.

You have to take more of them to get in the same number of carbohydrates as a higher carb gel. It's amazing how much marketing can influence people with words like "natural", "real food", and "organic". At the end of the day this doesn't matter to your body. The number of calories and carbohydrates does matter. Food labels are there to be better informed.

It matters if you care about the consistency of your poop

Is Sage Canaday the most flatulent Letsrunner?

They are pretty much small packets of baby food. Delicious, delicious, baby food. But they sit well on my stomach (other gels do not), and I find the consistency much more palatable than Gu. I'm a trail runner though, so going at a slower pace. For fast road elite folks, you may want the instant kick from the highly processed maltodextrin crap.

I like the canaberry much better than gu because of the consistency. It's not sticky like gu and you don't need to drink water right away.

I make my own rice and honey and put it in small bags but it's sticky and has to stay cold before I use it. It's a little more solid than the gels which I like better but the gels are much easier to use.

Will they help me qualify for Boston!

Hello, I'm also interesting for that Spring Energy Gels? but I'm not familiar with that. What's that for? thank you.

They are very delicious. But they certainly are not the best for performance IMO. Wish they were.

spring is good. i used them for a 50k with no issues. canaberry is the best. they are much better than the other ones that taste like sugary jizz. plus kilian uses spring energy.

Hi everyone, has anyone tried any of the Spring Energy gels during runs? I like that they advertise that they are real food but they don't have a lot of carbs for each gel. maybe around 17 or so for 100 calories. Just curious if anyone has tried these or know about them? thanks!

Canaberry has kinda a lot of fat in it too. Idk more for ultras I think

Canaberry has only 3 grams of fat in it....it is mostly carbs. Enter code: "Sage" for a discount. Thanks for your support!

Like it really matters for ultras. You have to go to the restroom anyway. Since each Spring gel is low calorie/low carbohydrate you'd have to take more/carry more or rely more on other foods and drinks. Taking low carbohydrate gels means you're shorting yourself of energy that will add up after many hours.
