I’ve had to wind back a bit the last couple weeks due to illness. Got back into this week and have bumped my weekly output back up to a good level. It has felt good.

I tried my first “energy gel” some cheapo stuff from the local supermarket while on a 15km run. I would describe it as:

consistency and look of lube (clear and gooey)
mouthfeel like milk (i don’t know how but it felt like milk)
taste was vaguely lemon/lime (as advertised on the packet
it had been sitting next to my leg so it was warm

It did not make me want to vomit immediately (or afterwards) so I guess thats a win :D
