We recommend testing the gels during training. Both gels can be perfectly combined in training/competition and/or can be combined with Innerme energy bars and/or isotonic energy drink and/or balance drink.
You can perfectly complete training sessions and/or competitions using only the 'Endurance' or only the 'Fast' gel.
If you use both, it is a good idea to focus on the 'Endurance' gel during the first part and more on the 'Fast' gel during the second part.
