Important notes

These fuel bundles are given as a guide and intended for general information purposes only. There are things that can affect how many carbs and calories we need on a run depending on gender, effort level, weather, terrain etc. and may need to be adapted to tailor to you. Listen to your body, if you're fatigued or weak eat more.

If you require specific advice please contact a certified sports nutritionist. We recommend speaking to a professional, especially if you are making big changes to your fueling strategy for long runs and to do it gradually.

Ensure you have spare calories that you don't intend to eat on the run in case of emergency.

Remember to keep sipping water as consistently as you are fueling, we all forget to drink enough water sometimes.

Individual Products

The Energy Fuel has a balanced carbohydrate mix to ensure you rapidly replenish glycogen while delivering a sustained energy release. Added minerals (electrolytes), vitamins and amino acid ensures that your muscles are replenished and fuelled for all types of effort and distance.

The FeelGoodBars are energy dense yet very light on the stomach (used by Crohn's and IBS users) and incredibly easy to eat as they literally melt in your mouth without the need to excessively chew or leaving a stodgy paste that’s impossible to swallow. The fact that they are gluten free also helps reduce stress on the stomach.

The Sports Jellies are refreshing, easy on the stomach (again used by Crohn's and IBS users) and contain electrolytes and unlike other gels you can rely on these to deliver your fast acting energy without worry of stomach issues or the need to drink lots of fluid with them, even on a hot day. You can also exclusively fuel on these if you find it hard on take on solids.

The finish... Yes you may want to collapse, chat to other competitors, loved ones etc but getting a Recovery Fuel in at this point will not only help you feel better sooner, it will also help offset DOM’s the next day and that painful walk down the stairs may just be that little bit easier!
