Gummies
Take 3-4 gummies every 30-45 minutes during runs over 60 minutes. Tart cherry juice has been studied for its anti-inflammatory effects, making these particularly appealing for back-to-back hard training days. Use Montmorency tart cherry juice (not sweet cherry) for the strongest effect. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
