Huma Chia Power Gel, Selection 12 Pack – Abdomen Pleasant, Actual Meals Power Gels for Endurance Train

Perfect for long runs
I’ve been using these gels to train for my half marathon and let me say they have been a game changer. They don’t hurt my stomach and give me the right amount of fuel for my long runs. I’ve tried other gels and have not liked the consistency of them but these are perfect. These are more of a jam consistency so it’s not hard to get down while running. Some of the ones in the variety pack have caffeine in them which was also great for longer miles. I will definitely be using these on race day.

Great For Race Day
I used these while training for and racing in a half marathon. These are super easy on the stomach and the consistency is not as terrible as some of the other gels I’ve used that are thicker. The thinner consistency makes these gels easier to eat, but the packages that the gel comes in is a bit larger than other gels. Most of the flavors are great, lemon is probably my least favorite and more of an acquired taste in flavor.

Took some getting use to it
Not what I expected but they are a wonderful change from the typical gels that I use for my marathon training and fueling. Great flavors. some of them do have caffeine so you need to pay attention to that if you aren’t used to using caffeinated products. I don’t normally but once in a while I like them and they really give me a boost.great product

The Strawberry flavor of Huma Chia Energy Gels has become a staple in my workout routine. In 2016, I started training for my first half-marathon and at the time had been researching how to properly fuel for a race. On the internet, I found a variety of articles that outlined the benefits of carb-loading the night or two before a long-distance race in order to prevent hitting a wall. I also found articles offering advice on foods that I should avoid eating. I was reading a blog article from a plant-based runner and noticed that she had been incorporating Huma Chia Energy Gels into her running routine. I started researching the company and loved the fact that they were 100% natural and vegan friendly! For the strawberry flavor, the ingredients include, strawberry puree, evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup, filtered water, milled chia seeds, strawberry concentrate, sea salt and citric acid. The fact that the ingredient label wasn’t laden with chemicals, was one of the reasons why I decided to try the product. I really enjoy the strawberry taste and it’s not too sweet so I decided test out this fuel on my Saturday morning training runs before making it a part of my half-marathon race strategy. It’s a great product, and the gels stayed fresh in the packaging while I was in training season.Normal glycogen levels stored in the body are insufficient for fueling a half marathon. This is especially true if, like myself, it takes you more than 90 minutes to complete a half marathon. Therefore, you should plan to consume carbs at least once during the half marathon and twice if you anticipate finishing the half marathon after 2 hours. The company recommends that consumers eat one packet 15 minutes prior to exercise and then one packet, every 30-45 minutes which I find to be a bit excessive but it all depends on what works for your body. If you’re consuming Huma Chia Energy Gel, I suggest doing this between miles 6-8, aiming to fuel halfway through the half-marathon. If your stomach can’t handle too many carbs at one time, slowly consume your fuel of choice over the course of those three miles. The Amazon Customer, Lentil1, gave the product 1 star ranking and in the review mentioned that with having a very sensitive stomach, both the GU and Huma Chia Energy Gels have caused stomach pain after the race. The user consumed 5 gels during the race which in my honest opinion appears to be too much. If the user had tested out the product before race day, there’s a good chance they would’ve figured out just the right number of gels that they need to consume in order to have a successful race day.Some organized race coordinators will provide energy gels at the water stations along with Gatorade. Another comparable brand name, GU Energy Gels, is one of the more popular brands that I find is offered to runners. I’ve tried the GU Chocolate Outrage flavor, which tastes very similar to a brownie but was a bit too sweet for me to consume during a long race. I would only recommend consuming the gels offered during the race if you have already tried the brand before. Otherwise, I would suggest that you prepare the night before and make sure to bring some fuel with you. The bottom line is to develop a hydration and fueling plan that will allow you to run a strong race and will help you maintain your energy levels!
