These are a great bar for training or carb loading before a big race.

Shop bought gels and bars are very expensive to use for all training sessions. I use a mixture of these with an energy source drink to fuel my longer training sessions.

All of my family use these and they are great for eating as you head out the door for your run, no upset stomach issues which is great.
