Using energy gels for cycling and running

Which pack should I choose for training or racing?

Start with the sampler if you are new to Hammer Gel. Pouches are easy to carry on race day; the jug suits regular training with a refillable flask. Practise with your chosen format before racing.

Which Hammer Gel flavours contain caffeine?

Espresso contains 50 mg caffeine per serving and Tropical contains 25 mg. The other flavours are caffeine-free. Check your selected flavour's nutritional panel and account for any other caffeine in your fuelling plan.

Should I take Hammer Gel with water?

Yes. Hammer Gel is concentrated, so take it with water. Adjust fluid intake to conditions and your individual needs. Read the Hammer Gel Fuelling Guide for timing and use.

How do I plan fuel for a long ride?

Plan calories, water and electrolytes together, and test your plan in training. For rides beyond around 2–3 hours, consider Perpetuem long-distance fuel alongside gels for variety. Use our Race Nutrition Planner to plan your event.
