What keeps a runner moving? It’s the (simple) carbs! Of course, hydration plays a key role, as well. But, without the right nutrition, energy wanes. Muscles tire. Performance suffers. Energy gels are a primary, preferred fuel source for many runners due to their ease of use, convenience and efficiency.

Not all gels are created equal—especially when it comes to being tummy-friendly while still delivering on the nutritional boost your body needs for top performance. Tune in to episode 27 of the Running on Carbs Podcast as Coach Val reviews 9 popular gels (plus a bonus) to find the best vegan options for race day, training, or long runs.
