Progress to the start.


Training for a half marathon is an achievable distance for most runners, but should not be underestimated. To perform — for the body to adapt and get stronger — it needs rest, recovery, and fuel. 



This Collection is designed to fuel the toughest sessions in a typical half marathon training week — the intentional workouts that need additional carbohydrates. Typically this would involve a tempo session and a weekly long run. 



The Collection also makes allowance for race day practice — where you really get used to it, dial in your fueling strategy, and learn what to expect.

Each pack includes:

3x boxes of Gel 100 and
1x box Solid 160.
Plus complimentary Gelflask.

Nutrition facts

All Maurten products are delivered with a minimum shelf life of at least four months. But if you don't use them before — they are often still good after.

How to use

Fuel your half marathon tempo sessions:


Pre-session: If it’s an early start or you are fitting training around a busy day, use Solid 160 an hour before.


Warm-up: Gel 100 / Gel 100 Caf 100

Fueling long runs examples:


Fuel weeks 1-9: 1-2 Gel 100 per run to support increasing demands and varied long-run sessions


Weeks 10-12: Race day simulation — practice up to 3 x Gel 100 (45-50 grams per hour of carbohydrates).

Solid 160 — used for the in-between moments, pre- or post-run, to maintain carbohydrate demands as volume and intensity increase.



Real food
— when undertaking a sustained training plan the best source of nutrition to help with adaptations will come from real food options. Use real food pre-workout and then, during training, revert to sports fuel for the specific needs of digesting carbohydrates in the session.

Gelflask
— a tool to practice fueling on longer runs.

The Half Marathon Training Collection products

Gel 100

Gel 100 is a unique structure that encapsulates carbohydrates in Hydrogel Technology. An easy-grab, portable fuel every 6km in the half marathon — it’s that simple. Contains 25 grams of carbohydrates and 100 calories.

Solid 160

Solid is an oat- and rice-based fuel to be consumed during the 24 hours before the half marathon or as an easy breakfast option on race day.

Maurten GelFlask

Consolidate your Gel 100 sachets into one portable and make fueling with hydrogel easier during demanding workouts or competitions

The following Fuel Guides outline fueling strategies for common running 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.

Hydrogel Technology

Carbohydrates are the currency of fueling — to sustain performance, athletes need to consume them when training and racing, but it can be difficult during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed. Combining research–driven development alongside feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes, Maurten’s fueling ecosystem enables all humans to become greater athletes.
