Actually I only look at the amount of carbs per gel. Not very familiar with gels haha. But it honestly give an energy boost especially those with caffeine.

Previously used to take aminovital. Taste and texture is good but I find it really don't help at all. So now just trial and error.

Ya need to trial.
For me need to be light and pack as high energy as possible (kcal or KJ). Then trial if taste is acceptable and no issue for the gut.
And the price too, cheaper better.

I wonder how many here have issue tearing off the gel packets? I find SIS and most brands I tried like KODA, high 5, they don't tear off easily. Especially worst when I have sweaty palms.
The Maction(迈胜)brand is the first time I was able to tear off easily and consumed it on the go without stopping.

Can try 250ml red bull can for HM since you doing that distance. 45g of carbs 80mg caffeine.
But still, actually need to wash down with like at least 50ml of extra water at the end. heh.....
Shd not be too much weight of significance to carry till around 10-12km before consumption.

i was a frequent red bull drinker in my teens and uni period, as coffee had no effect on me. Now i am avoiding it totally due to the side effects.

Cheap daily trainer. Currently china brand most talked about "万金油" shoes is the Li Ning Red Hare 8 Pro and this QD Strong Wind 3TR. And they are cheap, I ordered my QD Strong Wind 3TR for less that 200 yuan GST included and shipped.
Finally China branded shoes can start releasing decent daily trainers. It will be goodbye to western brand soon., I have no western branded shoes on my radar. Except for the Nike VPfly 4 and only if they appear in the outlet at less than $150.

just placed an order to try
RMB170.10 (price equivalent to 2 bowls of ramen)

Ang moh big brand $149 b4 discount nowadays can buy what shoe? Even those ASCIS EVA stuff like Contend i think also difficult, unless past season.

Some men/women eat mid-tier Jap Sushi / Sashimi 1 meal already more than that.

I patiently await the day when 1 single high-end bicycle tire @ retail store costs more than that.

I think the only daily trainer that you can find with 150bucks without major discount is the Adidas SL2

How are pure gels? Wanted to try amino saurus but the flavours limited for the caffeine ones haha.

Taste wise more natural flavours. For me easy to go down without needing water. I haven’t tried without caffeine. With caffeine , gives me some boost for my runs without the crash

I bring 100+ or Pocari isotonic powder for runs.

Before heading out, I will use scissors cut further into the perforated tear part. Very easy to tear open.

Before that, even use mouth tear is difficult.

For gels, should be okay to cut as long as no zhup?

Give it a try one day. It's not the type that force you into a certain speed or way of running.

Can do slow and fast.

Next time I try your method of using the scissors to pre cut for my remaining SIS isogel.

Speaking of pocari, for experiment, I just placed an order two X 80 packets of electrolytes on PDD platform. China branded. Recommendation is 1 packet for 500ml of water. Less than 50 yuan for 160 packets. very cheap.
