I can't say that I found it ineffective, only that I didn't like the taste and texture and didn't think it provided as much benefit as other gels that I use. <br /><br />It puzzles me that you start to feel the difference after 45 minutes because that's generally the point when a runner's body would be depleted of glycogen. I didn't get any benefit from it after 45 minutes, though it may have helped some between the 10 and 30 minute mark.

As a result of an accident I have a lot of metal in my legs; considerable muscle loss and skeletal damage. That, compounded by the fact that I didn't try running until age 62 - 30 years after my accident - renders me about the least qualified to comment. ...but qualifications have never stopped me before. I use Chia Surge on runs lasting over 45 minutes and I can't swear that something else won't work just as we'll - but I have used others without the same success. I use the product about 15 minutes before the run starts and I feel the difference carrying from about 45 minutes through 90 minutes. I would cats gorier it more as endurance than a surge! It is a more fluid gell than many, so I think it goes down easier than many of the other gels. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
