Progress to the start.
Training for a half marathon is an achievable distance for most runners, but should not be underestimated. To perform — for the body to adapt and get stronger — it needs rest, recovery, and fuel.
This Collection is designed to fuel the toughest sessions in a typical half marathon training week — the intentional workouts that need additional carbohydrates. Typically this would involve a tempo session and a weekly long run.
The Collection also makes allowance for race day practice — where you really get used to it, dial in your fueling strategy, and learn what to expect.
Fueling long runs examples:
Fuel weeks 1-9: 1-2 Gel 100 per run to support increasing demands and varied long-run sessions
Weeks 10-12: Race day simulation — practice up to 3 x Gel 100 (45-50 grams per hour of carbohydrates).
Solid 160 — used for the in-between moments, pre- or post-run, to maintain carbohydrate demands as volume and intensity increase.
Real food — when undertaking a sustained training plan the best source of nutrition to help with adaptations will come from real food options. Use real food pre-workout and then, during training, revert to sports fuel for the specific needs of digesting carbohydrates in the session.
Gelflask — a tool to practice fueling on longer runs.
