IRONMAN · TRIATHLON FUELLING
Just tell me what to do.

ADRIAN · IRONMAN HAMBURG, JUNE 2026One triathlon athlete. His own numbers.
- 60 → 100 g/hGUT TOLERANCE, 9 WEEKS
- 42 KM, ONE PACENO FADE · STANDALONE MARATHON
- NO GUT ISSUES8 weeks out → RACE DAY
How many gels for the 3h run?
Can you tell the amount of powder for 800 and 500ml?
From 3:11h I felt tired
My 6h ride costs 40-50€ in gels. And the powder mixing is so easy to mess up.
A six-hour ride creates dozens of tiny decisions.
You shouldn’t be doing maths mid-ride.
THE FUEL PLAN
Every session, packed and timed.

- This bottle.
- This many scoops.
- This gel.
- This minute.

A STANDALONE MARATHON · SIX WEEKS BEFORE IM HAMBURG
42 KM.ONE PACE.
PACE PER KILOMETRE
- KM 14:45 /km
- KM 30still moving through the field
- KM 424:27 /km
- BEFORE THE RACE
At 30 km others start slowing, slipping into survival mode. That moment doesn’t reward effort — it exposes who fuelled properly and who didn’t.
- AFTER
Like you said at km30 I only overtook the people
Didn’t even push all out
Adrian’s own splits — a standalone marathon, not the IRONMAN run leg.

Adrian’s progression across one build. Yours will differ.
Fuel the effort & recovery.

Most athletes pick a ditch.
GUT CAPACITY
“I have to hit 800 g of carbs today — but I can’t eat that much rice and pasta in one sitting.”
- CAPPEDEvery sitting stays finishable. No gut irritation.
- REAL FOODDrinks are a tool, never the plan. They make a gut lazy.
Real food, split across the day. That’s what trains a gut to 100 g/h.
COST
Cheaper. Simpler.

One six-hour ride. Same carbs.
