GU Energy Original Sports Nutrition Energy Gel ($49)
Every runner has a different method of fueling when they're on their long runs, from salt tablets to energy gels, but I love the boost of caffeine GU provides me. My favorite original flavors have to be Chocolate Outrage and Salted Caramel. Any time I'm tacking on more than seven or so miles, I take an energy gel with water when I'm 45 minutes into my run, then every 30-45 minutes after. These are lightweight and easy to carry in a pocket or waistband. They're also vegan and gluten- and dairy-free.
