Marathon Pack HD 1500

Description

• Complete racing nutrition and hydration system designed for long-duration load and steady performance across the full 42.2 km — in the HD 1500 variant.
• HD 1500 is the stronger electrolyte drink in the Hydration Drink range — suited to higher sweat loss, warmer weather or greater sodium losses.
• Supports optimal sodium top-up the day before the race, controlled energy intake on race morning and gradual carbohydrate replenishment throughout the race — so you start confidently, keep energy and focus even in the late stages, and finish with certainty and strength.
• 3× Hydration Drink HD 1500 – to replenish minerals and sodium the day before the race, in the morning on race day and after the race.
• 1× FuelDrink – for ongoing carbohydrate top-up on race day, for example after breakfast.
• 1× Ignition Gel – to support energy, mental focus and readiness before the start.
• 6× FuelGel – fuel during the race for steady energy replenishment.
• 3× FuelGel Caffeine – caffeine fuel during the race to support energy and focus in the later phase.
• 1× Electrolytes – to top up electrolytes during the race.
• 1× Sports Bottle PRO 500 ml

• Supports optimal hydration, sodium levels, energy and mental sharpness.
• Helps reduce the risk of dehydration, cramps, energy drop and issues linked to insufficient fluid and electrolyte intake.
• Nutrition values for each product are on their product pages.

Usage

• The day before the race: Mix Hydration Drink HD 1500 at 20 g in 0.5 l of water and sip it gradually through the afternoon. Goal: replenish sodium and minerals, support hydration and reduce the risk of cramps.
• Race morning: Drink FuelDrink steadily from breakfast until 45–60 minutes before the start. Gradual carbohydrate intake helps keep steady energy without unnecessary stomach load.
• 45–60 minutes before the start: drink HD 1500 from the pack. If you need milder hydration, consider HD 500 or HD 1000; for maximum sodium losses consider HD 2000. Final sodium top-up supports optimal hydration and neuromuscular function.
• 20–30 minutes before the start: take Ignition Gel — support for focus, alertness, mental sharpness and a smooth energy onset.
• During the race: target 60–90 g of carbohydrates per hour for a marathon lasting about 3.5–4 hours on average.
• Recommended gel timing: 0:20–0:30 h → 1× FuelGel; 1:00 h → 1× FuelGel Caffeine; 1:30 h → 1× FuelGel; 2:00 h → 1× FuelGel; 2:15–2:30 h → 1× FuelGel Caffeine; 2:45–3:00 h → 1× FuelGel; 3:10–3:20 h → 1× FuelGel; 3:30–3:40 h → 1× FuelGel Caffeine as a finish boost.
• Hydration at aid stations: top up fluids regularly from the start. You can strengthen water or an on-course electrolyte drink with a few drops of Electrolytes Drops from the pack — increasing sodium and potassium intake to support performance and help prevent cramps.
• Summary: even energy and mineral replenishment throughout the marathon, with targeted caffeine and electrolytes to hold pace, help prevent cramps and support performance in the late stages.
• If you run slower than 4 hours or conditions are tough (heat, humidity), add 1–2 extra gels for energy certainty to the finish.
• The plan is universal and can be adapted to individual tolerance, pace and race conditions. Every runner is different.
