Yes, alongside a fueling plan suited to the distance. For efforts over 3 hours, many runners combine Maple MC2 with other energy sources for the long haul.

Yes. Many runners also have it the night before or the morning of a long run to start well hydrated.

Not entirely. On very long efforts, hourly carb needs exceed what one sachet provides. Maple MC2 works well as a hydration base, combined with other energy sources for ultra-distance.

Sports science guidelines recommend 30 to 60 g of carbohydrates per hour for efforts lasting more than 60 minutes. Each Maple MC2 sachet contains 28 g of carbohydrates, covering the lower end with one sachet every 45 to 60 minutes. For higher-intensity efforts or races over 3 hours, combine with another energy source.

Yes, when diluted according to the instructions on the packaging. An isotonic drink has a concentration similar to blood, which promotes rapid absorption of water and electrolytes during exercise. Maple syrup naturally provides the right ratio of carbohydrates and minerals to achieve that balance.

Maple syrup provides carbohydrates and electrolytes in a single natural ingredient, without assembling sugars and additives in a lab. It is a choice for runners who prefer a short, transparent ingredient list with energy from a real food rather than a synthetic blend.

All three flavors share the exact same nutritional profile: 273 mg sodium, 94 mg potassium, 28 g carbohydrates and 110 kcal per sachet. Maple is the classic choice. Maple-Peach brings a refreshing twist for summer runs. Maple-Blueberry works well for everyday training.
