Whether you swear by them or loathe them, we asked for your thoughts on gels:
@Mensrunninguk I prefer to use @EllasKitchenUK baby food: it comes in squeezy packets and it’s totally organic. I use the banana or mango flavour

@Mensrunninguk I used to use them but as I have improved my general diet and started eating more naturally they just make me feel sick…

@Mensrunninguk Use but don’t abuse! Pack them just in case but only use if required.

@Mensrunninguk I use them but only for marathons (and training for them). And I always carry a backpack to put them into so I don’t litter.

@Mensrunninguk I use them sparingly but nothing like the frequency recommended on the packets – tried that and had stomach cramps for days

@Mensrunninguk stomach cramp! Why would anyone want that! Sounds awful, I’m steering well clear.

@Mensrunninguk They may or may not work. I just wish that the people who used them didn’t drop them #scum
