What’s in the box
Twenty-four gels, twelve electrolyte sticks, two flasks
Enough gels for eight to twelve long runs, the electrolytes to go with them, and the two flasks runners carry them in.
× 18
Maple Ignite energy gel
Maple syrup and sea salt, nothing else. The gel they take every 30 minutes or so on a long run. 24g carbs, 110mg sodium, no caffeine.
× 6
Maple Coffee energy gel
The same maple with coffee extract — 45mg of caffeine a gel. Runners keep these for the last third of a long run or a race.
× 12
Sustain electrolyte stick
One stick in 500ml of water. Sea salt, coconut water, marine magnesium and marine calcium — 500mg sodium, no sugar, no flavouring.
Included
150ml gel flask
Holds five gels, so there’s nothing to tear open at pace. Fits a vest pocket or a running belt.
Included
500ml soft flask
One Sustain stick fills it. Bite valve, 42g empty, and it folds flat in a vest once it’s drunk.
Everything here is the same product we sell on its own. The flasks are part of the set.
Who this is for
The runner training for a spring marathon
They’ve entered a marathon in April or May — London, Manchester, Brighton, Edinburgh, or a first one somewhere smaller — and the training plan starts in January.
This box is the fuel for the long runs between then and race day. The gels are taken on the move, the Sustain goes in the flask, and most runners practise with both before they race with them.
- ✓They talk about long runs at the weekend
- ✓They own a running vest or belt — or they’ll need one for this
- ✓They’re new to gels, or they’ve used ours before — this box works either way
Buying your own fuel? Twenty-four gels and twelve Sustain for £55.45 works out below our 24-pack price per gel, before you count the flasks. From late December this set stays on as the Marathon Training Pack.

Loox reviews of Maple Ignite, Maple Coffee and Sustain — the products in this box — from runners who bought them. The gels are the products they write about most.
If they don’t like it
Love the taste or your money back
Natural maple, sea salt and — in the coffee gel — coffee extract. If the runner doesn’t like the taste, tell us and we’ll refund you.
How it arrives
It arrives in a bag, ready to hand over
Packed by us in Cheshire and posted in a plain outer box. Inside is the Christmas bag with the set in it — that’s the present, done.
The bag
In a Protein Rebel Christmas bag
The whole set goes into the bag before it’s boxed. Lift it out and it’s ready to give.
No wrapping
Nothing to wrap, no tag to write
The bag is the wrapping. There’s no gift-message option at checkout, so if you want to add a note, tuck your own in the bag when it arrives.
Dates
Order by 2pm, Wednesday 16 December
For delivery before Christmas. Free UK delivery over £40, so this set ships free.

Both gels are vegan and gluten-free. Nothing in this box contains caffeine except the six Maple Coffee gels — if your runner avoids caffeine, they can hand those to a friend and the rest of the set is caffeine-free. Nothing in this box contains fish; the Keep Running set does (marine collagen).
