Fuel Planner
Your race. Your physiology. Your fuel plan.
Build your personal fuel plan for race day.
No guesswork. No one-size-fits-all. Just personal protocol to fuel performance. Maurten Fuel Planner is a digital tool designed to build a personalized fueling protocol for athletes — spanning from a marathon fuel plan to cycling fuel strategies to an IRONMAN nutrition plan. Making Maurten's nutritional and physiological expertise accessible to athletes at every level.
Powered by a physiological model — not a calculator or generic rule set — Maurten Fuel Planner builds a personal fueling strategy based on individual physiology, pace, estimated finish, and course profile. The tool maps out what Maurten product to fuel with and when — before, during, and after your race.
Overcome performance limitations with your own fueling protocol
Maurten Fuel Planner helps athletes overcome performance limitations from under-fueling, over-fueling, and gastrointestinal distress. It turns course demands and physiological data into a personalized fueling protocol — estimating carbohydrate stores and energy expenditure for a clear race-day plan. Maurten Fuel Planner translates insights that have been traditionally reserved for elite sport into a practical Maurten fuel guide for runners, cyclists, and triathletes at various levels.
Maurten Fuel Planner shouldn't be used just before race day — consult the tool early on in your training block and prepare by practicing with your personal plan in longer training sessions. This helps get your gut used to Maurten — so there are no surprises on race day.
FAQ
What is the Fuel Planner?
The Fuel Planner is a digital tool for runners, cyclists, and triathletes to create course-specific fueling plans — based on the athlete’s unique physiology and pace. It is a progression from static guides to an immersive, educational, and dynamic fueling platform.
The Fuel Planner also includes an edit feature that gives athletes the ability to fully control their fuel plan or lean on the prescribed guidance as they learn to master the art of fueling. Visualizations of the course elevations and route maps give context to the fuel timing. Calculations provide the athlete with a transparent insight into what dictates their fueling expenditure and needs.
Who is the Fuel Planner for?
The Fuel Planner is a tool for anyone seeking advice on how to fuel for a running, cycling, or triathlon event. The Fuel Planner can be used by both recreational and sub-elite athletes to create intuitive fuel plans and receive educational material that explains the reasoning behind the plan.
How should I use the Fuel Planner?
The Fuel Planner is a nutritional recommendation tool that provides individualized fuel plans and insights — currently optimized for racing. By answering a few questions, the planner creates a detailed plan with pre-race, during-race, and post-race recommendations. In edit mode, these recommendations can be customized further by adding personal preferences. On the export page, the fuel protocol can be saved to the device, or the user can return to maurten.no.
The Fuel Planner gives a recommendation for products that I don’t prefer. Can I change the output to another product type?
Yes, you can. In the “edit mode”, you can toggle the product preferences to any combination of products. This will give you a new fuel plan, containing only the preferred product types.
How many Maurten gels per hour?
Fueling is personal and carbohydrate needs shift with pace, course profile, and individual physiology — a marathon fueling strategy built for a 3-hour finisher looks different from one built for a 5-hour finish. Maurten Fuel Planner calculates Gel and Drink Mix timing and quantity specific to each athlete, rather than applying a generic per-hour rule.
