Long run season means one thing: fueling is everything. Whether you’re training for a half marathon or marathon, running gels can make all the difference in keeping your energy steady and avoiding that dreaded wall. I’ve tested a ton of energy gels for runners and linked my favorites—easy on the stomach, quick carbs, and flavors you’ll actually look forward to mid-run. If you’re wondering when to take running gels (tip: about every 30–45 minutes during a run over an hour), I’ve got you covered with my go-to options below.
