      Tbf plenty of professional athletes don’t get support and Maurten are notoriously not big on sponsoring athletes. I don’t think it came across super salty though, just a smidge 😂

    • @NicolasVerschoren
      @NicolasVerschoren 5 місяців тому +2

      Maurten is good, but there are plenty of other options out there. I hope he explores those when going into his next marathon. Personally I can highly recommend 6d sports nutrition.

    Good luck man! I started running 4 years ago and just smashed my half PB with a 1:21:18 a week ago in perfect race conditions. I'm 42 so racing the clock to go sub 80 minutes before I'm too old!

  • @Mighty727

    You need to watch Phily's video about making your bottles as visible as possible, with handles. I'm worried that you will miss the bottles as you go flying by. Good luck!!

    @matthew6918 4 місяці тому +1

    Hi Ben, I really enjoy your content and channel but I felt your passive aggressive to Maurten demonstrated entitlement and a lack of maturity. This is one of the problems with ïnfluencers"as they get bigger followings. Why shouldnt you just buy the stuff like the rest of us?! Good luck in Copenhagen.

  • @Docmaja

    Hi Ben, if you buy Maltodextrin and Fructose to mix it by yourself, add a pinch of salt it will cost you roundabout 1,50€/100g

  • @jimmywu5924
    @jimmywu5924 5 місяців тому +1

    It’s really easy and inexpensive to buy tubs of maltodextrin, fructose, and salt and then mix them together for your drinks. I’d be happy to send you some ratios that work for me if you’d like. You can also add caffeine and flavoring if you’d like. BTW, Maurten and SiS gels don’t have nearly enough salts (electrolytes) - check out the nutrition label. So, definitely need to supplement with electrolyte drinks if you use these brands. I suggest using Gu Liquid Energy as an alternative. It is liquidy and easy to get down, and has plenty of sodium.

  • @BLuRZzHDGaming
    @BLuRZzHDGaming 5 місяців тому +2

    Don’t understand why anyone takes maurten, it’s sugar and maltodextrin and salt. Just buy it and mix it yourself

    Good luck Ben! I'll tune in to your race after running my own first marathon the same day as Copenhagen ( Vancouver) cheer on Ben Preisner if you see him, he pulled up halfway in hamburg last week to try another shot for the qualifying time. Thomas Broatch is another Canadian going for it in Copenhagen. So far we only have 3 qualifiers between the men and women.

    I race self support, and the idea of "bottle service" would blow my mind. And my spouse would love not having to stand at the halfway point with 2 fresh bottles to hand to me, and get crazy anxiety that she somehow misses me! LMAO.
    Good-luck at your race Ben.

    Content is absolutely 🔥 at the mo, Ben. All the best for Sunday.
    Not hating, but the code I received from Soar (after entering the competition) was only for 10%. I saw a comment on your previous video suggesting I'm not the only one - think that's worth raising with them

    Hi Ben. First of all gl on your race sunday here in copenhagen. I got a small tip for your gels I use myself then I doing Ironman. I use a little bottle where put my gels in and i put a little bit of water in so it can be drink like my elektrolytter. On my gel bottle i use a waterprof pen to mark up for every gels. Then I dont need to struggle with open my gels on my run. Again gl sunday and hope you get a nice run.

    Can't stand the consistency of the Maurten drink mix, it's like trying to swallow wallpaper paste! The gels are fine but, for a drink mix I go Precision Hydration or Mountain Fuel!

    I went to the Maurten stand at a race expo once, asked if they had any samples I could try, they looked at me like I had gone mad, “we don’t do things like that” they said.
    The Endura and Clif stands had a literal smorgasbord of samples of their different products and were much friendlier.

    Well, they may be expensive these Maurten packages, but the content is dirt cheap to make, so I reckon they make tons of revenue without sponsorships (if they're already a recognized brand) 😅

      This is a reduced session to get ready for race day. Depending on the training volume, running ability, personal preference everyone’s different. I know from experience a small session like this, 2 days easy running and I’m good to go :)
