BICARRB for the Autumn Marathon Season
Share
With autumn marathon season hitting its peak, performances across Europe have been electric. Cooler race conditions, fast courses, and months of summer training all come together to create the perfect storm for personal bests. Already this year, our athletes have been showing just how powerful BICARRB can be over the longer distances.
Last weekend in Amsterdam, Alex Bell ran a blistering 70:04 to win the Half Marathon, continuing her incredible season and demonstrating the strength and control needed to hold pace right to the line.
On the same weekend, in the same city, Louise Small delivered an outstanding 2:27:48 in the Marathon, placing her 6th in the UK for 2025 and making her the 22nd fastest British woman of all time.
Louise summed up the effort:
“You never know what can happen in a marathon, but I felt strong the whole way and was able to push on in the second half. BICARRB really helped me push through the later stages without hitting the lactic wall, and I think the sodium boost played an important role too.”
Why BICARRB Works for Half and Full Marathons
BICARRB was designed to give athletes an edge in events lasting anywhere from 10seconds to several hours or even days.
In those longer races, it can help delay the onset of fatigue, letting you hold threshold pace for longer before lactate starts to slow you down. The secret lies in BICARRB’s sodium bicarbonate formula. Bicarbonate acts as a lactic buffer, helping your muscles perform efficiently even as intensity rises. Meanwhike, sodium supports hydration and fueling by improving fluid balance and carbohydrate absorption.
Together, they help you sustain pace, avoid the dreaded “fade,” and finish feeling strong, whatever your pace.
Take Your Next Race Further
If you’re training for an autumn or winter half or full marathon, now’s the time to test BICARRB in your long runs and tune-up races. See how it feels, dial in your timing, and give yourself the same edge that’s helping top endurance athletes perform at their best.
