Every runner knows that feeling: you’re in the middle of a long run, your legs start to feel heavy, your pace slows, and suddenly your energy disappears. That’s the “wall” every endurance athlete dreads. The truth is, no matter how strong or fit you are, your body needs the right fuel to keep going mile after mile.
That’s where Maurten Gel comes in, a product that completely changed how runners, cyclists, and triathletes fuel their performance. At Pure Running, we’ve seen how Maurten has transformed long-distance training for everyday runners and elite athletes alike. It’s not just another energy gel, it’s a smarter, cleaner way to fuel your endurance.
What Makes Maurten Gel Different?
Traditional energy gels can be tough on your stomach. They’re often too sweet, sticky, and loaded with additives that can cause discomfort or sugar crashes. Maurten Gel changed all that with its revolutionary hydrogel technology.
So, what’s hydrogel technology?
It’s a simple but smart idea. Maurten wraps carbohydrates inside a natural gel structure, the hydrogel, which protects your stomach and allows the carbs to move smoothly to your intestines, where they’re absorbed efficiently. The result? Steady, long-lasting energy without any stomach distress.
Instead of that sudden sugar spike (and crash) you get from traditional gels, Maurten gives you a smooth energy curve, perfect for long runs and marathons. That’s why elite marathoners like Eliud Kipchoge and many professional triathletes trust Maurten during their world-record performances. If it’s good enough for them, imagine what it can do for your next long run!
Maurten Gel 100 vs. Maurten Gel Caffeine 100
Maurten keeps fueling simple, with just two main options: Maurten Gel 100 and Maurten Gel Caffeine 100. Both are designed to provide clean, effective energy, but they’re suited for slightly different needs.

Here’s a simple example:
If you’re doing your weekend long run, Maurten Gel 100 is your best choice. It delivers smooth energy without caffeine, ideal for maintaining endurance. But if you’re racing or tackling a hard tempo session, Maurten Gel Caffeine 100 gives that extra mental and physical kick to help you push through fatigue.
Both gels are completely natural, free from artificial flavors, and made to work perfectly with your body, not against it.
How to Use Maurten Gel for Best Results?
To get the most from your Maurten Gel, timing is everything. Here’s how to make it work for you:
- Before your run: Take one gel about 15–30 minutes before you start. It gives your body a head start on energy and helps prevent early fatigue.
- During your run: For runs longer than 60 minutes, take one gel every 30–45 minutes. Maurten gels are easy to consume; no need to chase them down with water.
- After your run: While Maurten Gel is mainly designed for during-exercise fuel, having one post-run can help you recover faster if you’re still far from home or your next meal.
One of the best parts? You can pair it with Maurten Drink Mix for longer races or hot weather runs. This combo gives you complete control over your energy and hydration, no bloating, no sugar crash, just steady endurance.
You can find all these products easily at Pure Running, Australia’s trusted source for performance fuel.
Why Runners in Australia Love Maurten?
Australian runners deal with unique conditions, long distances, hot weather, and high humidity. That’s why Maurten Gel has become such a hit across the country.
Because of its hydrogel formula, it’s easy to digest even in the heat, and it doesn’t leave that sticky, sugary aftertaste you get from most gels. It’s compact, mess-free, and fits perfectly in your running belt or pocket.
Trail runners love it because it’s reliable and doesn’t melt or leak during long races. Road runners love it because it’s clean and simple, no artificial flavors or odd textures. Whether you’re training for your first 10K or your tenth marathon, Maurten Gel gives you the same reliable energy that elite athletes rely on.
