🕒 How to Use Energy Chews
Consume 4–6 chews every 20–30 minutes during runs over 60 minutes. Pair with water or hydration mixes like Tailwind Nutrition or Skratch Labs for balanced fueling. Aim for a total of 60–90 g carbs/hour during long efforts.
🍓 Chews vs. Gels
Chews offer a lighter texture and more gradual energy delivery than gels. They’re great for hot weather or mid-effort snacking when you need fuel without the stickiness of traditional energy gels. Many athletes alternate chews with real-food gels from Hüma or Spring Energy.
