Science-Backed Energy Nutrition for Endurance Athletes

GU Energy has been fuelling athletes since 1993 — and for good reason. Developed by athletes for athletes, GU products are formulated with the science of endurance in mind, delivering fast-acting carbohydrates, electrolytes, amino acids, and caffeine options to keep you moving when it matters most. Whether you’re racing a trail ultra, grinding through a long training run, or pushing through the final kilometres of a marathon, GU has the nutrition to get you there.

How to Fuel with GU

GU recommends taking your first gel 15 minutes before activity and then every 45 minutes during exercise. For longer efforts, mix and match formats — gels for quick hits, Stroopwafels for real food variety, and drink tabs to stay on top of hydration. The key is to fuel early and fuel often before fatigue sets in.
