How to Master the 5k The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Jeff and Aly talk about the gels they’ve been using in training—Aly likes Gu Campfire S’mores and Chocolate Coconut. But sometimes even those don’t sit well and you just can’t face eating one more. So, that’s when gel alternatives come in handy.
