don't doubt it when you dunno. We take power gels for recovery actually. But to improve on performance power gel can't help much.
I used power gel once for short distance 6km run, turns out wasn't really that effective. that's why I said that.
And do chill. Yes it differs individually.
haha. You'll never know

to understand power gel and power bar's usage, do use it often and be observant.
btw, why do u need power gel for 6km run?
anyways, welcome to runners thread....

Added on October 27, 2009, 7:13 pmI believe u r a good source for us in this forum as u mentioned u compete in state and national level swimming competition, and also a competitive short distance runner. V definitely hope to get some tips from you in terms of speed training and for those into Tris then the tips on how to improve in swimming will be of beneficial.
Again you must understand that long distance running can be a little different from those sports you are engaged in where energy are distributed across a span of long hours like from 1hr to almost 6hrs (if one is slow in running a 42k). Short distance running are more on burst of speed, and swimming will really depends if one is a sprinter or long distance one. Even if its long distance it wont be anything more than an hour. So the usage and distribution of energy is very different. Food and supplement for recovery may or may not differ. Anyway I am more than interested to hear from you and your point of view.
As someone said, this is not a forum to bash each but more to learn from each other strength and correct the mistake as it comes along. Hope to hear more contri from u.
cheers

sprint on hill is another good training to improve ur speed and also uphill... really salute ronnie them sprint from deer park mid turning point to the gate for 5 times.
