The Fuel Guides
Fuel Guides are written for specific sessions — to maximize the adaptations from carefully structured training. Single sessions often represent stepping stones and incremental progress on a longer journey towards a goal...
Knowing how to prepare and use your Maurten products is important. To optimize performance and palatability, the Hydrogel Technology should be prepared under precise conditions.
The Maurten Bicarb System is an advanced fuel for high-intensity training and racing. It is designed to be consumed 1.5-2 hours before exercise — priming the body to cope better with rising muscle acidity during anaerobic efforts.
The following guidelines outline fueling strategies for common training sessions and race plans. A fuel guide is highly personal. Use this information as reference only to fuel your training and racing better.
Sports fuel is supported by science and works alongside real food — not as a replacement. Some Fuel Guides — longer or more intense — rely heavily on the specific composition of sports nutrition. Others less so.
