Umara Göteborgsvarvet / Half Marathon Energy package

Umara's energy pack for the half marathon distance.

The energy plan is based on you also consuming sports drinks from the race's 4 water stations that serve sports drinks. The sports drink served is our U Sport Citron, which provides approx. 10g of carbohydrates per cup. In addition to that, use the gels in this package as below.

Content

- 1st U Intend Shot 60ml

- 4 pcs U Gel (20g carbohydrates per gel) distributed among the flavors 2 pcs raspberry, 2 pcs cola (caffeine)

Use

- 45min before start - 1st Intendshot

- 20min U Gel 20g

- 40min U Gel 20g

- 60min U Gel 20g

- 80min U Gel 20g

The intake recommendation is for you who run in approx. 1h 40min. For other times, we advise you to add a gel of your choice for every extra 20 minutes you are out running. See related products. If you take the sports drink at all stations, you get 20-40g of carbohydrates (based on whether you get everything in the cup or not), then these 4 gels give another 80g = 100-120g of carbohydrates, which is enough for about 1.5 hours of running. Should you miss a station or two, you'll still be fine too.

NOTE: Note that the total caffeine intake in this package can be high, 250mg from the shot before + 20mg per collagen so a total of 290mg (equivalent to 3 cups of coffee). If you are sensitive to caffeine, we advise you to only take 2/3 or 1/2 the shot at the start.
