Cherry Super Gel

Marathon nutrition is critical during the race, and runners are advised to consume 2-3 energy gels per hour. The fast-acting energy boost these gels provide, thanks to their high carbohydrate content, is key to delaying fatigue. Regularly replenishing electrolytes helps the body restore key sodium and potassium during sweating.

If you prefer to plan your marathon nutrition by distance, we recommend taking an OTE energy gel every 5km to maintain energy.

Though much shorter, a half-marathon still requires deliberate nutrition for a successful race. We recommend taking your first energy gel at around the 30-minute mark and using a caffeine gel to maintain high energy.

For runners who expect to run a half-marathon in over 2 hours, a general rule to follow is to use a gel every 30 minutes.

We recommend taking energy gels for exercise lasting over an hour. This duration of exercise will deplete the body’s energy reserves sufficiently for the OTE Sports energy gels to be effective. 

Running gels can make all the difference for race-day performance, and we recommend putting 2-3 gels in the pockets of your running shorts (be sure to zip them up!) or using an elastic, lightweight armband or belt to carry them.
