Description
No need to think about what to use for the big day. We have already done that for you.
We have created the all in one box to give you the best balance of nutrition from the Maurten ecosystem. Each riders time goals will be different, so this plan should be considered as a guide. You may find you are feeling very good and are sufficiently fueled during the later stages, and you don’t need to take your last gels.
We are sticking to the tried and tested, basics for endurance sport. What you eat in the week leading up to the race is as important as what you eat the day before, so keep it clean and full of carbohydrates. Load up with electrolytes daily for 4 – 6 days before the race with a supplement that you sip daily. Get good rest in the week, while doing gentle tapering. Topping up glycogen in the days leading up to the race is your number one goal. You risk depleting muscle glycogen by doing hard training, without enough time for the body to replenish your glycogen. Fuel from the moment you wake up so you are in a good position when you start. Consume throughout the race, and drink to thirst. Run within yourself, while pacing yourself to achieve your goal time. Pacing and nutrition go hand in hand. What you take out of your body, you must put in.
