When Sabastian Sawe ran the first legal sub-2hr marathon, his shoes made headlines.

But in Gothenburg, a team of scientists/nutritionists believe another factor was just as significant, if not more so.

A look inside sport's groundbreaking fuelling lab.

Enjoyed this from @benbloomsport detailing his visit to the Maurten HQ.

@nxthompson @sweatscience It might also be the carbs, 115 g/hour.

[Aitor Viribay @MVAitor]

What it takes to fuel a sub2h marathon record?

115 CHO g/h!!! Wow!!

This is insane. Congratulations to all Maurten team (specially Tobias & Olof)!

Great job, this is real history made!

Sodium bicarbonate enhances cycling performance in hypoxia 🧂🚴‍♂️

This new study investigated the effects of 0.3 g/kg sodium bicarbonate on cycling time-trial performance in acute hypoxia 🔍

🚵‍♂️ 14 trained cyclists were recruited to complete two conditions (placebo and bicarb)

🏔️ Acute hypoxia was 16.7 ± 0.2 FiO2 (~1,900 equivalent altitude)

💊 The sodium bicarb supplement was ingested 90 mins prior to exercise

Results 📊

After sodium bicarb ingestion…

⏱️ 40-km time trial performance was enhanced by 1.2%

🩸 Blood pH and blood bicarbonate significantly increased pre-exercise and throughout

There were also no significant differences in gastrointestinal symptoms between bicarb and placebo ✅

Sodium bicarbonate ingestion can enhances endurance performance in hypoxia and therefore should be a consideration for competing at altitude 📈

“About 30 minutes before the race, I take a Maurten Gel to ensure steady energy. It helps me feel light but fully fueled...” #Boston128 winner Sisay Lemma will be back at the start line at Hopkinton. And again, he’ll be fueling with Maurten. Learn more: https://t.co/q5IMnD1h69

[Boston Marathon @bostonmarathon]

Running Boston takes guts. But first, you and your gut need to get used to fueling with carbohydrates — the key to improving performance and faster recovery. Practice the art of fueling in training now with Maurten Gels.

Now that Jacob Kiplimo is running the London Marathon in April, after running 56:42 for the half marathon today, do we need to say anything more about the sub 2hr marathon?! For me, I think it could be a done deal and we are looking at the next marathon world record holder and a possible breaker of the 2 hr barrier in Marathon!

[UGANDA ATHLETICS @UgaAthletics2]

It’s insane that 🇺🇬’s dynamic duo,@joshuacheptege1 and @jacobkiplimo2 holds four world records in distance running. Their dominance across 5000m, 10,000m, 15km, and the half marathon proves they are in a league of their own, redefining the limits of human endurance.

How pushing the true potential of the 'carbohydrate revolution' could reshape pro cycling:

'120g is a reference, but the exact number is far higher ...There is the potential to exploit more from nutrition':

@stevemagness Hot take I’ve never taken electrolytes in a marathon… gels and a bit of water is more than enough
