Darrel Robins – Runner

Getting hold of running food that actually tastes good can be a challenge, something Hammer has managed to nail. There’s a great variety of gels that are not too sweet, but not too bland either.

During the course of an ultra, you need food that’s going to give you variety over anything up to 30 hours. What we’re doing is hard enough, so the food we eat on the go needs to be simple and effective – a little like ordering from the Hammer website. Most of the time, I’ve got my order within 48 hours of placing it – now that’s good customer service.
