Running a marathon isn’t just about physical training—it’s also about fueling smart. Maurten has become the go-to choice for endurance athletes thanks to its innovative hydrogel technology that delivers carbohydrates efficiently without upsetting the stomach. Here’s how you can use Maurten products for optimal energy and performance on race day.
Maurten uses hydrogel technology to encapsulate high amounts of carbohydrates in a natural, stomach-friendly form. This allows for faster absorption without gastrointestinal distress—a common problem during long-distance races. With the Hydrogel technology, you dare to go longer, more often.
For a Marathon it’s important to fuel before the race, but also to fill up with fuel during the race. Our recommendation to how you should plan your days before and race day, you can find below.
