NUTRITION TO ‘TRI’
Fuelling correctly is essential for peak performance, which is why we ensure there’s Maurten available at our event aid stations. Known for their science-driven products, they’re our go-to for training and race day success.
Pre-Swim
Before a swim session, try a Maurten Gel 160 about 15-20 minutes before getting in the water. It delivers a quick hit of carbs to power your session and testing in the run-up will help train your gut for race day.
During the Bike
The bike leg is the perfect time to fuel with solids. Test Maurten Solid Bars during your training rides, they’re easy to digest and packed with energy. Pair these with Maurten Drink Mixes in your bottles to keep carbs topped up and stay hydrated during those long hours in the saddle.
During the Run
Running calls for easily digestible fuel. Stick with Maurten Gels, choosing between the 160 or 100 depending on your tolerance, size, and gender. Aim to take in 60-90g of carbs per hour, experimenting during training to find your sweet spot.
