MAURTEN GEL 100

Question: what do Eliud Kipchoge, Mo Farah and Kenenisa Bekele have in common, aside from being fairly quick? Answer: they all choose Maurten as their in-race fuel. The Swedish product is a hydrogel, which is easily absorbed by the body, meaning you can ingest more carbs per hour (100g) than you can when using other gels, and without any of the gastro issues some of them can cause. Plus, there are only six ingredients, about half that of your average energy gel. £36 for box of 12, maurten.com
