As it is, I'm blessed with a pretty hardy stomach when it comes to running :) Oh, I’ve used Gu before, I just haven’t this time around.

Some people have stomach trouble with Gu vs Cliff Shots vs Cliff Blocks and the flavors can make a difference as well. I'm a Vanilla GU person myself. Good luck in Pheonix!
