FocusX, Built for Every Run
At Fairway Nutrition, we know running demands more than just training. From the 5K to the marathon, every distance requires the right balance of physical energy and mental focus. That’s why we created FocusX , a clean, stimulant-free gel trusted as running fuel and a proven energy gel for runners who want to perform at their best without crashes or jitters.
Why Runners Need Smarter Fuel
Running is about rhythm, and nothing disrupts that more than sudden energy spikes and crashes. Traditional snacks or caffeine-heavy products often backfire, leaving athletes drained mid-run.
FocusX was designed as a running performance gel, combining clean carbohydrates for steady energy with nootropics for sharp focus. That means runners can maintain both stamina and concentration, mile after mile.
Long Runs Made Simple
Training or racing long distances requires consistent fuelling. FocusX doubles as reliable long run fuel, delivering a mix of quick-release carbs and sustained energy. Instead of hitting the wall late in a run, athletes get even pacing and endurance that lasts to the finish line.
Trail Running Nutrition
Trail running brings its own challenges: unpredictable terrain, steep climbs, and the need for focus when fatigue sets in. FocusX has become a go-to for trail running nutrition, not just for its portability, but for its dual benefits of physical stamina and mental clarity.
The nootropics inside support sharper decision-making, helping runners pick their line and react quickly, while electrolytes keep hydration in check during long hours on the trails. And with beetroot extract, FocusX helps deliver oxygen more efficiently to the muscles, supporting endurance on climbs and sustained effort on challenging terrain.
Focus When It Matters Most
Running is as much a mental challenge as a physical one. Fatigue doesn’t just slow your legs, it clouds your judgment, breaks your rhythm, and makes it harder to push when it counts.
That’s why FocusX is trusted as a focus gel for runners. The nootropics inside are designed to keep your mind sharp even as your body tires. That means better pacing decisions, stronger concentration in the final stretch, and the clarity to hold form when fatigue sets in.
Whether it’s locking into your stride in a 5K, making smart tactical choices in a trail race, or staying mentally tough over 26.2 miles, FocusX gives runners the mental edge. It’s not just fuel for your body, it’s focus for your mind, helping you finish stronger and sharper than ever.
When to Take FocusX Gels
Every runner is different, but here’s a simple guide on how to use FocusX for different race distances. Each gel gives you 26 g of carbs, and we recommend no more than 4 gels in a race.
| Race Distance | Typical Duration | FocusX Gel Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| 5K (20–40 min) | Short enough that most runners don’t need fuel during. | Take 1 gel ~15 min before if your last meal was more than 2–3 hours earlier. |
| 10K (40–70 min) | Just over the threshold where extra fuel can help. | Take 1 gel ~15 min before. For races over 60 min, take 1 gel mid-race (around 30–35 min). |
| Half Marathon (90–150 min) | Energy stores begin to run low. | Take 1 gel ~15 min before, then 1 gel every 40–45 min during. Typically 2–3 gels total. |
| Marathon (3–5 hrs) | Glycogen depletion is the main limiter. | Take 1 gel ~15 min before, then 1 gel every 40–45 min during. Cap at 4 gels total (≈104 g carbs). For longer races, supplement with drinks/foods for extra carbs if needed. |
Why It Works
-
Pre-loading before the start tops up glycogen.
-
Spacing gels every 40–45 minutes keeps energy levels stable and avoids crashes.
-
4 gels max means you can cover all major race distances without stomach overload.
