  • Sis energy gels contain 87Cals.
    Running burns around 1000Cals per hour.

    They do help. But dont expect miracles. Your body wont absorb anywhere near the Cals needed mid run anyway. Its much the same story With water. But You'll get a better effect from trying to stay on top of hydration.
