Awesome, when is your half marathon?

I don’t think they’re as energy-dense as Shot Bloks, but Honey Stinger’s chews are a nice size. They are about half the size of a Shot Blok and more rounded. They come in large packaging though – I transfer them to smaller baggies for my runs.

Ooh, fermenting sugar alcohols in your intestines! Haha, thanks for the explanation!

Rich and I have signed up for another 1/2 marathon this Fall. I will have to practice using some of these for the run. I use Gatorade and Shot Blocks on the bike but do them less convenient on the run. The smaller chews maybe a better choice for me. As far as the laxative power of sugar free products, that is often due to the sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols don’t digest in the stomach so they don’t raise blood sugars they then ferment in the intestines often leading to GI issues for some (not all).

Just don’t get the sugar-free kind! There are horror-story reviews on Amazon of their laxative powers.
