Hi,
First, great news, I was able to secure more Maurten Drink Mix at 40% off for our Feed Athletes! But hurry—it's going fast and I don't want you to miss out!
Remember all those workouts stuffing your pockets with gels like a carb hungry squirrel? I finally realized, that I was doing it wrong. I should have been more focused on a high-carb drink as the foundation of my fueling strategy.
Here's the deal: If you're aiming for 120g carbs per hour, then the most optimum fueling strategy would be 2g every minute. But who can realistically fuel that consistently, nobody.
I started experimenting with high-carb drinks and it's been a game-changer. A big sip of Maurten 320 = 8g of carbs, spread out every 6 minutes (10 sips per hour) = 80 g of carbs. Compare that to gulping down a 25g gel all at once.
The real eye-opener? I finally did the math, and high carb drinks saves you a bundle.
So here's what I'm trying now: I start with high-carb drinks as my base, then add gels or chews to hit my final carb per hour goal. Most the time that is only one gel per hour.
I've been testing this approach for about a month and seriously—my energy feels more consistent and my stomach is happier.
BTW, to encourage you to try this approach, I'm discounting our top selling high carb drink from Maurten. The 160 Drink (40g of carbs) works great for workouts under one hour, and the 320 Drink (80g of carbs) is perfect for those longer workouts and also for pre-fueling before your workout.
Hit the link to get in on this Maurten deal, the drink mix is selling fast right now.
Best,
Matt
