“If you have a runner in your family, the Cadence Core 24 Gel makes a great stocking stuffer. It’s a little sweeter and has a more watery consistency than Maurten. At first I didn’t think I’d like it, but the thinner texture actually makes it super easy to gulp and move on. During my last half-marathon, I realized how nice that was. It delivered a quick hit of energy without costing extra effort. For longer races, that feels like a real win.

The formula is also gentle on the GI. I’d still recommend testing it before race day, but I had zero surprises during training or racing.

The thing that originally got me interested, though, was the electrolyte profile as it has more electrolytes built into the gel—meaning one less thing to track mid-race. They’ll definitely appreciate it on their next long run or race.” – Jamie Prokell, Men’s Health Creative Director
