Off the mark

This Collection — designed by the Maurten Nutrition Team — fuels the first 4 weeks of a typical marathon training plan. After which, the Maurten Marathon Training Collection takes you the rest of the way to race day. 


The Maurten Run Training Collection should be used during intentional workouts (tempo sessions or long runs) to help the body with the process of adapting to, and tolerating, the consumption of carbohydrates while running.

Sports fuels are specifically designed to reduce the workload on your digestive system during high-intensity training, when blood is diverted to working muscles. In these specific sessions it’s appropriate to continue using high-carbohydrate fuel. 



You don’t need to fuel every workout. In sessions with a relatively low target heart rate, where the effort may be described as conversational, the demand for high-carbohydrate intake is reduced.
