I got a lot of responses! Outside of Huma gel, I received tons of recommendations for Spring Energy gels and Science in Sport.- Event information: The app provides all the necessary information about the Grandma's Marathon event, including race details, schedules, and course maps.

When I came back to the marathon this Spring after a season off, I had a bit of a dilemma with my gels - PowerBar discontinued the Simple Fruit gels! I took to Instagram and polled folks to see what other gels were out there for people with sensitive stomachs like me. Ever since, it’s allowed me to consume the 5 gels I need during a marathon (versus 3 when I was using just one type of gel).

I’m pretty sure I read this in one of Matt Fitzgerald’s books on nutrition (either The Endurance Diet or The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition).

I found that alternating gels with different types of sugars resulted in less GI distress for me. For the last couple years, I’ve been training with two different gels during my marathon - Huma gels and PowerBar Simple Fruit gels.
