What a marathon fueling app should do
A marathon fueling app should help runners decide what to carry, how much carbohydrate, fluid, sodium, and caffeine to target, and when to take each product during the race. Fuelstate turns those decisions into a practical plan runners can follow on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Fueling is part of marathon prep, not a race-morning guess.
Most marathoners have a training plan, a race goal, shoes, and a watch. Fueling often still lives in a note, a spreadsheet, or a vague rule like taking a gel every few miles. That can work for short efforts, but marathon race day usually needs a plan that accounts for the runner, the weather, the pace, and the products in the kit.
Fuelstate is built for that gap. It helps runners plan marathon nutrition before the run and follow the schedule while fatigue is building.

Yes. Fuelstate uses the runner's plan, products, and run context to show what to carry and when each fuel event belongs in the race.
Is Fuelstate only for race day?
No. Fuelstate is useful during long runs because race-day fueling should be practiced before the marathon.
