Thanks for the review Randy- very informative and useful. I am thinking about trying Maurten for the Honolulu Marathon this Dec. Keep up the reviews and happy training. Aloha from Maui.
Matt Holton Aloha!! Thank you!! Yes, Maurten is a very good sports drink!! Use one gel 100 every 4 miles., Hydrate at every aid station with plain water., Also preload with a 320 drink with breakfast about 3-4 hours before the start. Preload with a 320 drink the day before as well,
Hi there so, thankfully I haven't cramped during any marathons, as I've done 7 of them. Six of the seven I've used Skratch Labs and, drank whatever they had at the aid stations. I don't recommend using Skratch on a marathon since it too much sugar in your system and, it's hard to absorb sugar in the latter part of the race (mile 20+). So, you essentially run out of carbs since your body can't process it. I also don't recommend drinking the gatorade at the aid stations because the same thing happens!! I switched to Maurten and, I had an 8 min PR and BQ'd. Let me know if you have any more questions!!

@@jssengar5284 I have only ordered from the Maurten website. You will have to select the country you are in so that they can ship from a local distributor., Here is the website., www.maurten.com/
Yes, I use Skratch all the time and, have been using it for several years. Maurten is WAY better in my oponion. The reason why is because Maurten has more carbs and, with less stomach issues with my experience. Skartch is made from cane sugar and, over long miles, it doesn't agree with my stomch. Skratch is okay for workouts upto an hour and a half or so., But, after that I get sour stomach from the sugar., Maurten's hyrogel technology works VERY GOOD over long runs over 2 hours long. Let me know if you have any more questions.
