Product Description
On April 29, 2026, Sabastian Sawe ran 1:59:30 in London — the first sub-2-hour marathon in a sanctioned race. He didn't do it on talent alone. Maurten spent 32 days with him in Kenya over 14 months, testing, refining, and building a fueling protocol down to the gram. What he took on race day is now what you're holding.
This is the exact Maurten fueling system that powered the fastest marathon in the world.
What You Get:
- 5 x Drink Mix 320
- 1 x Solid 160
- 1 x Gel 100
- 1 x Gel 100 Caf 100
The Hydrogel Advantage – Maurten's patented Hydrogel Technology turns your drink into a gel inside your stomach — encapsulating carbohydrates so they pass through without causing the bloating, cramping, or nausea that derails most athletes. You can take in more fuel, at higher intensity, with far less GI risk.
A Complete Race-Day Fueling System – Five sachets of Drink Mix 320 (80g carbs each), one Solid 160 (40g carbs, real food texture), one Gel 100 (25g carbs), and one Gel 100 Caf 100 (25g carbs + 100mg caffeine). That's everything you need to hit 90–115g of carbohydrates per hour across a full marathon — the same target Sawe hit on race day.
Strategically Timed Caffeine – The Gel 100 Caf 100 isn't just a gel — it's a precision tool. Maurten encapsulates the caffeine inside the hydrogel, which means you get the focus and performance boost without the bitterness or stomach issues that come with most caffeinated products. Deploy it in the back half of your race when you need it most.
Sawe's Fueling Strategy for London:
Two days before 500 ml Drink Mix 320
Day before AM: 500 ml Drink Mix 320 + Solid 160 PM: 500 ml Drink Mix 320
Race morning 6:00 AM — Light breakfast 6:45 AM — Bicarb 15 On the bus — Sipping Drink Mix 320 5 min before — Gel 100
Race fuel Km 5–15 — 160 ml Drink Mix 320 every 5 km Km 20 — 160 ml Drink Mix 320 + Gel 100 Caf 100 Km 25–40 — 160 ml Drink Mix 320 every 5 km
Sawe's race-day carb target was 115g per hour — a number Maurten's nutrition team built over months of gut training, stable isotope testing, and detailed food-intake analysis. He didn't just eat more on race day. He trained his gut to handle it. This pack gives you the same fuels he used. The protocol is yours to build.
How to Use the Sabastian Sawe Marathon Pack
Pre-Race: Mix one Drink Mix 320 sachet in 500ml of water and sip as a pre-race carb top-off with a Solid 160.
During: Space out Drink Mix 320 sachets at aid stations targeting one bottle per 30–40 minutes. Add the Gel 100 periodically to keep your carb target in check.
Deploy your caffeinated gel at miles 18–20 — or when your legs want to quit and your brain needs to override them. 100mg of caffeine, no flavor, no bitterness.
Pro Tip: Gut-train this protocol in your long runs before race day, mimicking your exact race schedule. Sawe spent months doing exactly this. Your gut responds to practice.

Sabastian Sawe 1:59 Marathon Pack FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Use the Solid 160 and one Drink Mix 320 for pre-race carb-loading, space remaining Drink Mix sachets every 30–40 minutes during the race, and deploy the caffeinated gel at miles 18–20. Follow Sawe's km-by-km protocol on the product page as your template.
Hydrogel Technology encapsulates carbohydrates in a gel matrix that passes through your stomach with far less GI disruption than traditional fuels — so you can take in more carbs at higher intensity without cramping or nausea. It's why Maurten has fueled every men's and women's marathon world record since 2018.
115g/hr is elite-level — most runners start at 60–90g and build up over time with gut training. The key is practicing this exact protocol on long runs before race day; your gut adapts to volume and timing just like your legs do.
Yes — don't attempt high-carb fueling for the first time on race day. Replicate this protocol on your long runs 8–12 weeks out and build progressively, exactly like Sawe did.
