ARE YOU RUNNING? So YOU KNOW THAT...

... over 10 km, half or marathon, nutrition is the real turbo. The rest is your legs and your ability not to explode at km 30.

BITUMEN & REALITY

THE HARDSHIPS THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT BEFORE YOUR FIRST HALF (OR YOUR FIRST MARATHON)

In running, you can have a perfect training plan... and still get punished if you neglect fuel. Here, there’s no magic: you run on your reserves. And when they run out, you feel it.

THE "WALL" WHEN GLYCOGEN RUNS OUT

Beyond 1h15–1h30 (sometimes earlier), your carbohydrate reserves decrease. If you haven't planned ahead, you slow down, you suffer.

CONSEQUENCE
Cotton legs, decrease in pace, finish line in survival mode.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Regular carbohydrate intake (gels/applesauce/drink) to stay fueled from start to finish.

FRAGILE STOMACH + SUGAR NAUSEA

Running shakes the stomach. Too concentrated, too sweet, or taken too quickly → it comes back up.
CONSEQUENCE
Nausea, reflux, inability to eat (and that's it).
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Fluid and natural textures, bold flavors, and fractional sipping (in several small sips).

YOU DRINK TOO MUCH... OR NOT ENOUGH

Hydration "by instinct" = often too late. In addition, you lose electrolytes when sweating.

CONSEQUENCE
Cramps, heat stroke, decreased clarity, underperformance.
SOLUTION MULEBAR
Effort drink/isotonic + electrolytes to hydrate and provide energy without weighing you down.

BAD STRATEGY AT THE START

Leaving too quickly + leaving "on an empty stomach" = dangerous combo. The heart rate increases, digestion shuts down, and you can no longer eat.
CONSEQUENCE
You suffer from the middle of the race and you finish in damage control mode.
MULEBAR SOLUTION
Digestive pre-fill + 1 bait gel + a simple plan, repeated in training.

THE RUNNING RANGE

FUEL SUPPLY, EVERYTHING IS HERE

10 km nervous, semi-threshold, long and painful marathon: the same logic. You prepare, you fuel, you recover. Here, you have the right formats at the right time.

Before the effort

Previously, the goal is to fill the reserves without irritating the stomach. An energy bar provides a gradual and digestible energy. If your departure is near, prioritize simple and easy-to-absorb inputs.

During effort < 2h

Over 45 minutes to 2 hours, the challenge is to maintain intensity. Gels and purees are quick, fluid, and easy to take while running. The performance drink stabilizes energy and helps to stay hydrated continuously.

During effort > 2h

Beyond 2 hours, you benefit from aiming for regular and split intakes. Alternate gels/purees and supplement with sports drink to maintain a constant carbohydrate intake, especially during a marathon.

After effort (within 2 hours – metabolic window)

Afterwards, you want to replenish glycogen and initiate muscle repair. A protein bar + hydration, then a proper meal, and you recover faster to continue with the rest of the plan.

WHAT THE TRAILERS SAY WHO HAVE TESTED

Very satisfied with the brand, I regularly recommend it to my sports circle, who have adopted it. The texture, format, and nutritional values are suitable for endurance events (but not only...), the products are natural, digestible, and tasty.

Large variety of products, the flavors are good and no digestion issues! First "test" use of the fruit purees before/after a half-marathon and gels during, it's approved and I will now order again for a marathon.

Always on top! I try new brands from time to time to find new flavors, contributions, etc. And I always come back to Mulebar! For 4 years, from half-marathons to ultra trails, I find everything I need.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR RUNNERS

When should a gel be taken?
The simplest: start early. In half-marathon/marathon, don't let your energy drop. Take it in small doses every 15–25 minutes, tested during training.

Why split a gel instead of taking it all at once?
Because it is more tolerable and more regular: less nausea, less peak, more consistency.

How many carbohydrates per hour should you aim for in a marathon?
Many runners perform better when they gradually move towards a more consistent strategy (often around 60–90 g/h depending on tolerance). The key word: training.

Effort drink or water?

Water = hydration. Sports drink = hydration + energy + electrolytes. Over the long term, the sports drink helps stabilize intake.

I often cramp — is it due to a lack of electrolytes?
Sometimes, but not only. Hydration, sodium, intensity, neuromuscular fatigue: everything plays a role. The essential thing is to have a coherent strategy (drink + regular intake) and to test it.

Why are Mulebar products easier to digest?
Because they are designed for effort: natural ingredients, fluid textures, and formats that are easy to take while running.

When to take an energy bar while running (and which one to choose)?
The bar is ideal before departure (H-60 to H-30) or on a long outing at a relaxed pace, when you can chew without pushing yourself too hard. If the intensity increases (threshold/race), switch to gel/applesauce/sports drink, which are easier to digest.

Are energy cakes useful for a half marathon or a marathon?

Yes, especially upstream (the day before / the morning) or on ultra/long outings: it’s a more “solid” option, less sickening than the all-gel. The key point: digestion and timing (to test during training), and avoid taking it when the intensity is too high.
