Aminovital Marathon Bundle 2025/2026

The day before a marathon, the focus is on getting the body into peak condition. This involves supplementing with nutrients that aid recovery and sleep quality, helping muscles repair, reducing fatigue, and building up energy reserves for the long workout the following day. The goal of this stage is not an immediate burst of energy, but rather to "build a solid foundation." (One Ajinomoto Sleep and aminoVITAL Citric Acid)

Before the start of the race, the focus of nutrition shifts to activating the energy system and maintaining physical condition. The nutrients supplemented at this time are primarily used to provide the energy needed for the initial stages, avoiding excessive glycogen depletion at the outset, and keeping the body stable and less prone to fatigue before high-intensity exercise.

Entering the middle stages of the race (around 15km and 20km), nutrition begins to play a crucial role. Energy replenishment at this stage focuses on "maintenance," helping to slow fatigue build-up, support muscle function and focus, and prevent energy decline before the second half of the race begins. (One aminoVITAL Shot BCAA Gel and aminoVITAL Shot Power Gel)

Around the 30km mark, the body's energy reserves gradually approach their limit, which is also the most likely time to hit the wall. At this point, replenishment should focus on quickly available energy to get through the most difficult phase, maintain pace and stable movement, and allow the runner to successfully complete the final distance. (One aminoVITAL Shot Power Gel)

Post-race nutrition focuses on recovery. After completing a marathon, both muscles and the energy system are in a state of high depletion. Appropriate nutritional supplementation helps accelerate repair, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and help the body return to normal as quickly as possible, preparing for the next training session or competition.
