Aid Station
Half Marathon Kit
Looking for a place to start? Think less about nutrition plans, 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 Precision Hydration Tablets 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, Tailwind's Recovery Mix full of carbs and protein goodness. 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.
Based on the recommended carbohydrate intake, the Full Marathon Kit offers a variety of Maurten essentials to sustain energy for every level of athlete. Emphasising on flexibility, the Full Marathon Kit offers Drink Mixes, slow burning hydrogels, and caffeinated goods that can all be consumed in any order of variety based on nutrition goals.
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:
