TRICK OR TREAT!

HALLOWEEN CANDY? NO... RUNNING CANDY!

It used to be "GU", a small packet of icing like sugar, was the only choice for a glucose energy boost during long training runs, rides and races. But as more recreational and professional athletes now participate in triathlons, half and full marathons, the industry and brands have evolved. There are now so many different options, all resembling and tasting like your kids favorite candy. You have Jelly Belly Sport Beans; Gu Chomps, Honey Stinger and Power Bar Energy Blast gum drops; Clif Shot Bloks and protein Roks. Besides the glucose, the "candies" are also packed with electrolytes and caffeine, so please keep away from the children! Happy Halloween and Marathon to all you NYC runners!
