Doesn't mean it tastes good, but its a quick lo-bulk method of supplying the body energy.

I'm talking true elites, not your shit sub-3 marathoners (which I am). I'm slow and so is everyone else not breaking 2:40. And those going sub 2:40 are still just good club runners. Not really that fast. I'm talking sub-2:20 guys and sub 2:45 women. In fact, most of the sub-3 guys I know gave up gels well before they qualified for Boston. Paula Radcliffe, KK, Geb, etc. - they mostly only drink their own mixture of sport's drink or water during the race.
