Think less about nutrition plans and fuel smarter and harder with hand-picked nutrition curated for Half Marathons. Offering essential carbohydrates, cramp solutions, hydration and recovery for an all-in-one half marathon bundle.

The Aid Station Half Marathon Kit serves up a platter of Maurten Energy Gels & Drink Mixes – forming a total of 140g carbohydrates to fuel the engine, ensuring you stay energised throughout your run.
On the side you'll find hydration and cramp solutions, with CrampFix being your emergency shot when you're hurting and Pure Electrolyte Capsules will maintain the minerals lost through sweat, keeping fluids balanced and staving off potential threats from cramping and dehydration. 
Once it's over, you can't forget the desert – Infinit Repair Vanilla not only offers a velvety smooth treat post-exercise, it assists in accelerating recovery by feeding those glycogen stores and protein to help those aching muscles. 

A practical guideline suggests that as the duration of physical activity extends, you should increase your hourly carbohydrate intake. While true, a fuel guide is highly personal and depends on individual diets and specific training programs.

 

Typically, endurance athletes aim for 30–45g of carbs per hour for sessions under 90 minutes, 60–75g/hr for sessions lasting 90-150 minutes, and 90g or more per hour for activities exceeding this duration. Scientific studies consistently demonstrate that higher carbohydrate consumption during exercise directly correlates with improved performance, showing a linear improvement in finish times within the 0–70g/hr range.

 

Calculating the effect of carbohydrate intake, this Half Marathon Kit serves as a general reference to provide high-quality carbohydrates needed to reach the goal of sub 2:15 while also providing sustained energy for anyone looking to finish at their own pace. 

 

Each half marathon kit includes:

General guide:

This general outline is to give an idea for starting your Half Marathon run with the Half Marathon Starter Kit and should be used as a reference and tailor it to your own training and dietary plans. 

 

1. Eat before your run, typically 3-4 hours before and something low in fibre and high in carbs. (White bread & Jam etc.)

2. As a suggestion consume Maurten drink Mix 160 pre-race, around 3 hours in advanced 

3. Top up with Maurten Energy Gel 100 or Caf 100, following your own dietary strategies

4. Finish at your new personal best!

 

Maurten Energy Gels and Drink Mixes serve as source of energy.

CrampFix QuickFix Shots are fast-acting cramp solutions which are perfect to have tucked away for cramp emergencies. 
Pure Electrolyte Salt Capsules are easy to carry on hand and should be consumed as necessary – especially on warmer days and for heavy sweaters.
