Does anyone have a view as to how long it takes for peak benefit after slurping a gel sachet? No point doing one if it's not going to give me a boost til I'm showering off!
Sorry if this has been covered a million times - couldn't find a useful search expression.
Oh, and as someone with the constitution of an ox, do I need to worry about not taking it with water?

I use H5 as they work best for me.
Hope this helps.

As for taking them with water, I find it very hard to take most of them without water as they are just not palatable. If you can get them down, then I guess that's fine. If you want specific non-water ones, go for the Isotonic SIS sachets which you can just gulp down.
Hope this helps.

I also find that they start to work straight away but as my friend above said, maybe this is all in the mind.
I'll do some experimenting on that basis. I need all the help I can get!
Oh, and, er, where can I get some of that EPO I keep hearing about? ;-)
In my first marathon last week I took them at 15km, 25km and 35km (just before water stops) and am convinced they helped a lot. I also took on water and sports drinks which was laid on every 5k. Taking one at 15km may seem pretty early, but I figured that leaving it until I felt tired was too late.
