Get ready for the race
Prepare for your marathon
Fueling with carbohydrates is key to getting the most out of your training and final performance at the marathon. Many athletes can suffer from gastrointestinal distress when consuming carbohydrate fuel while running — this is why it’s key to practice taking your race day fuel in training. Maurten Hydrogel Technology enables high concentrations of carbohydrates to be more tolerable to runners — making it easier to fuel.
Fueling is personal — but if in doubt, follow this general guide to preload carbohydrates pre-race, fuel in-race, and quickly replenish carbohydrates post-race.
