This is for people who are methodical about fuelling and take their long runs/rides seriously.

Ninety grams of carbohydrate in one gel is a meaningful amount, so this is not something you just chuck in at random. It suits longer sessions and longer races where hitting carb numbers matters and where a bigger single dose can make life easier than carrying lots of smaller gels.

 

Who it’s for:

 

Endurance athletes doing long runs, rides or events.

Those aiming for higher carbohydrate intake per hour.

Athletes who prefer fewer, larger fuelling hits.

People who have already practised their fuelling strategy.

 

What it does:

 

Provides 90g of carbohydrate per gel.

Uses maltodextrin and fructose as the carbohydrate sources.

Helps support energy intake during prolonged exercise.

Can reduce the need for multiple smaller gels.

 

How I’d use it:

 

I’d use this for longer sessions where fuelling needs to be planned rather than guessed.

You could take it in one go or split it up depending on tolerance, but the point is to help you hit your hourly carb target more efficiently. As there are no electrolytes in it, hydration needs sorting separately.

 

 

 

The Science:

 

Superior endurance performance with ingestion of multiple transportable carbohydrates

 

Study: Compared endurance performance when athletes ingested glucose alone versus a glucose-plus-fructose combination during prolonged exercise.

 

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2008

The glucose-plus-fructose condition improved endurance performance compared with glucose alone, supporting the use of mixed carbohydrate strategies for longer efforts.

 

 

 

Carbohydrate intake during exercise and performance

 

Study: Review examining how carbohydrate intake during exercise affects endurance capacity and performance, including the rationale for different carbohydrate strategies.

 

Nutrition, 2004

Carbohydrate feeding during exercise improves endurance performance, and the review helps underpin the use of deliberate carbohydrate intake strategies in longer events.
