Marathon and Race Nutrition Packs

One serve of Energy Powder 30 minutes before the start, then one Edge gel per hour from around the 75 minute mark, with 300 to 600mg of sodium per hour in your bottle. For a four hour marathon that works out at roughly three gels and three Hydrate serves. The Marathon Complete Bundle covers the training block as well as race day.

Far less than most runners carry. One serve before the gun covers the first 75 minutes, which for many people is most of the race. Add one gel around the 75 minute mark and electrolytes in the bottle if it is warm. The Half Marathon Pack is built to that plan.

At least six weeks out, and on every long run from then on. LIVSTEADY digests differently to a maltodextrin gel and your gut needs two or three sessions to settle into it. Race day is the worst possible time to find that out.

Look for low osmolality and no maltodextrin. LIVSTEADY is a large, slow releasing carbohydrate, so far fewer particles are pulling water into the gut. Runners moving across from high maltodextrin gels tend to report less sloshing and bloating late in a race. Start with the Trial Pack and test it over two long runs.

For most Australian race calendars, yes. Even the autumn and winter majors can run warm, and summer training is another matter entirely. Aim for 300 to 600mg of sodium per hour and adjust upward if you are a heavy or salty sweater. Hydrate carries 300mg per serve and Edge + Electrolyte carries 200mg per gel.

Yes. The Marathon Complete Bundle covers any effort of a similar duration, and plenty of triathletes and trail runners use it. See energy for triathlon for the discipline specific timing.
