Get 10% off your first order of Precision Fuel and Hydration. I’ve been using their PF30 energy gels for about 18 months, with and without caffeine. I use them for all of my races and longer training runs, including for Tokyo and London. The PF 30 gel is the most efficient way to get 30g of carbohydrate / 120 calories into your system fast. Their  gels have a very mild, neutral taste, something I like to reduce flavour fatigue during longer efforts.

The texture is pretty thin, so you can take them without fluids, away from aid stations. Get 10% off your first order of any precision fuel and hydration products with code EXTRAMILEST24 at https://www.precisionhydration.com/
