About Maximilien

Maximilien's essential products
Maximilien's 6d essentials
For Maximilien Drion, choosing 6d Sports Nutrition was a conscious decision: he was looking for scientifically based sports nutrition that was certified by Informed Sport. The latter aspect is particularly important in light of the Olympic Games. During his intensive training sessions and competitions, he relies mainly on 6d Ultra Drink, because opening gels in the cold is often difficult. In addition, the 6d Sports Bar Salty Peanut is a firm favorite, both during training and outside of it. Maximilien appreciates the quality and variety of the 6d range.
Training & nutrition
My training weeks in the mountains mainly consist of endurance training, with two to three intense interval sessions mixed in. In these workouts I enjoy the feeling of pushing my limits. During training, I aim for 50 g of carbohydrates per hour, but I increase this to 70–80 g during long races lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Since eating is difficult in the cold and while skiing, I rely primarily on my sports drink and gels. My useful trick for bars? I pre-cut the bars into small cubes and keep them in my pocket. This makes them easy to eat, even in the cold!
