Description

The infamous "marathon wall" is not inevitable. In most cases, it simply occurs when energy intake becomes insufficient after 1h30 to 2 hours of effort — the point at which carbohydrate stores run out and the body switches to a less efficient fuel source: fat. The result: pace drops, legs feel heavy, and the effort becomes overwhelming.

Designed by sports dietitian Julia Baleine, this Pack was created to prevent exactly that scenario. By alternating energy drink, fruit jellies, fruit compotes, purees and gummies, it ensures a regular and easily digestible intake throughout the race. The variety of textures reduces flavour fatigue and makes eating easier, even after several hours of effort.

Unlike gels, which are sometimes poorly tolerated, this Pack favours digestible and practical products, sourced exclusively from French companies. It supports you with a clear race plan: one food intake every 5 km and structured hydration to keep your energy levels up all the way to the finish line.

In short, this Pack is your ally for running long, keeping a steady pace, and crossing the finish line without hitting the wall at the 30th km.

The Marathon Pack – 4 to 5h Effort includes:

  • A complete solution for a marathon, with energy intake spread evenly throughout the race
  • A variety of textures with no gels, to reduce flavour fatigue and make eating easier during the effort
  • A lightweight Pack, made up exclusively of products from French companies
