I like it's light flavor as opposed to full sugar Gatorade. <br /><br />I used Cytomax in training and in the Country Music Marathon and the tropical fruit flavor wasn't too bad. I've had mixed results with Accelerade---the protein in it mixed with hot weather runs caused some rather severe gastrointestinal issues. nuff said.RunnerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256586100139898901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-53019050661494200192009-07-21T09:55:12.675-05:002009-07-21T09:55:12.675-05:00I have been drinking Vitalyte recently.

I was drinking Gatorade Endurance and enjoyed it, but it is difficult to find.<br /><br />I am not a fan of Accelerade. I bought a bunch of the fruit punch flavor while training for the marathon. The protein gives it a bit of an aftertaste to me. If you like it, let me know and I will send you what I have. Wow, Oz... you may just benefit again from having opposite tastes as me ;-)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902589811626771148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-31015498288214930892009-07-21T07:57:01.051-05:002009-07-21T07:57:01.051-05:00i use just about anything. luckily i haven't h...i use just about anything. luckily i haven't had any stomach issues yet! propel, gatorade (any of it's product lines), powerade, gu20... i just use whatever i have handy.<br /><br />i got some pom juice too and can't wait to sample it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-51627661537598173822009-07-20T23:29:55.289-05:002009-07-20T23:29:55.289-05:00i used to use gatorade but now am just using plain...i used to use gatorade but now am just using plain water if i am taking salt tablets and gu. i love nuun and use that on runs where i am not having salt.Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-66007915446213254662009-07-20T23:09:57.435-05:002009-07-20T23:09:57.435-05:00I am a huge fan of nuun as well.

Something I've heard is that protein is very hard on you stomach during the run. It is harder to digest so it can lead to stomach cramping and other fun things. Ultimately though you have to try things to see how they work for you!Runner Leanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920305723750242672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-26693565224551262612009-07-20T19:30:24.533-05:002009-07-20T19:30:24.533-05:00I like lemon-lime Gatorade but I can't handle ...I like lemon-lime Gatorade but I can't handle it full strength so I usually mix it with an orange koolaid drink I like for cycling or dilute it with plain water if I get it during a running race. Nuun is actually my preferred drink when running and I often use just that and plain water on my long runs plus gels and salt caps too for additional carbs and electrolytes since I usually run in hot humid weather. I like Accelerade as a recovery drink but the whey protein in it is not good for me while running (gives me a stomach ache and gas).ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155040142224230662.post-80037870699341648422009-07-20T13:31:18.015-05:002009-07-20T13:31:18.015-05:00I'm a straight up Gatorade girl.

I don't drink much sports drink... just when it's really hot or if I'm training really long.<br />I'll drink what ever a marathon course offers, since it's vital to get electrolytes replaced during a race.<br />But as far as when I'm done I really have enjoyed the not-to- sweet taste of Powerade ZERO.
