Runner’s World Award-Winning Energy Chews | FTP Endurance Fuel

Runner’s World Award-Winning Energy Chews

FTP Energy Pastilles were recognised in the Runner's World Sports Nutrition Awards 2026, highlighting them as one of the most innovative fuelling products for endurance athletes.

Designed as a chewable alternative to traditional energy gels, FTP Energy Pastilles provide fast-absorbing carbohydrates in a simple, real-food format that runners and cyclists can fuel with easily during long sessions or races.

Unlike many energy gels that can feel sticky or overly sweet, chewable fuelling products allow athletes to take in carbohydrates gradually while continuing to move.

This makes them ideal for:

  • marathon runners

  • ultrarunners

  • cyclists

  • triathletes

  • long training sessions

The recognition from Runner’s World reflects a growing shift among endurance athletes toward more practical and enjoyable fuelling strategies.

What Are Energy Chews?

Energy chews are a chewable form of sports nutrition designed to deliver carbohydrates during endurance exercise.

Instead of squeezing a gel sachet, athletes consume small chewable pieces which provide a steady supply of energy while running or riding.

Benefits include:

  • easier fuelling while moving

  • less stomach discomfort than some gels

  • flexible portion sizes

  • improved taste and texture

Many endurance athletes prefer chewable fuel during long runs or rides because they can pace their carbohydrate intake more naturally.

Why FTP Energy Pastilles Stand Out

FTP Energy Pastilles were designed by endurance athletes to solve common fuelling frustrations.

Key features include:

  • 30g carbohydrate servings using a glucose and fructose blend

  • chewable texture that is easy to consume while running or cycling

  • large 1kg bulk packs offering significantly better value than individual gels

  • reusable packaging designed to reduce single-use gel waste

The pastilles have a texture similar to fruit pastilles or Turkish delight, making them far more enjoyable than many traditional fuelling products.

For athletes training several hours per week, this format makes fuelling simpler, cleaner, and more sustainable. Many athletes combine chewable fuel with a carbohydrate drink mix such as Power Fluids to increase total carbohydrate intake during long sessions.
