“…the perfect product to chip away on during the bike.”

I just completed my first race using your Hammer perpetum and recoverite & endurlytes tabs.

I had big nutritional problems at IMWA and on advice from Bill Scanlan (coach) switched across to using perpetum & endurlytes tabs for the Busso 70.3 race

I did a 4:45 with is a 10min PB in tough conditions, the perpetum is the perfect product to chip away on during the bike. Its chalky taste doesn’t make you feel sick and it’s easy to get down unlike gels. I hit up 5 tabs on the bike and didn’t feel like cramping at all during the run, which was a big problem for me at IMWA.

“Now that I know the absolute quality of your products…”

I just wanted to take the time to Thank you for your quality and unparalleled performance products. I am an Ultra trail runner from the Southern Highlands of NSW and recently converted to use your products, specifically perpetuem, endurolytes, heed and hammer bars.

The amazing part for me was that I am not the biggest fan normally of these kinds of products and utilise more whole foods in race diet. After reading about your product line I decided to use all 4 products above in the GNW100 mile ultra… against all race rules I know (but without much choice) I had never used these before race day, except to find out what kind of consistency the perpetuem would be like in bottle.

I ran the event almost 4 hours quicker then last year, breaking the 100 mile record by over an hour coming 2nd by 15 mins to Andrew Vize (another ultra runner using your products). I had not one problem as far as nutrition, cramps, dehydration went.

Now that I know the absolute quality of your products I will train and utilise them as much as possible and also pass on high recommendations to other endurance athletes I am affiliated with. Please pass on these thanks to the entire team at Hammer. I look forward to continual support from your advanced nutritional endurance products.

“I had carefully read the science behind it and it made much more sense to me…”

I trialled Hammer Perpetuem for my first 24 hr race in June 2010. I had carefully read the science behind it and it made much more sense to me than fuels high in fat and/or simple sugars for such a long event. It was also much more preferable to me to use only one fuel, as I would then know my exact caloric intake (along with protein, sodium, and the like).

Perpetuem was the only fuel I consumed for the entire event (along with Endurolytes at scheduled intervals). Although I watched many racers get sick around me all night, I ran without issue, setting a new Canadian W40 record.

“Well done on such great products.”

Did my first 24hr Solo on the weekend at the Kona 24 and got second O/R!

I used your Perpetuem almost exclusively and a few Hammer Gels towards the end.

I was really impressed with the clean natural feeling of the products and the long term energy and support they provided.

Well done on such great products!

Regards, Tom

“I use Hammer Nutrition products to gain that advantage over my competitors!”

I use Hammer Nutrition products to gain that advantage over my competitors!

In training for, and competing at the 2011 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas, I use a range of Hammer Nutrition products to ensure I am at my peak in performance and recovered soon after.

Hammer products keep the energy systems high using nutritionally sound ingredients and still taste great.

“…..I am a definite convert.”

Hammer nutrition offers athletes the complete package for performance and recovery. Thanks to Perpetuem my energy levels are now stable and consistent in events.

Recoverite has enabled me to train harder and with less recovery than ever before!  My weekly mileage has now doubled but my legs feel fresher now that I am taking hammer products, I am a definite convert.

“…..everything went excellent, no complaints, no stomach problems.”

After listening to Steve and trying the HEED on a couple of long runs found it to be excellent.

The history behind me is that every time I push myself hard I end up with stomach cramps and bowel problems. Every half ironman and full Ironman, I ended up with gastric problems, that’s three of each.

After completing Menigie using Hammer Nutrition (HEED) everything went excellent, no complaints, no stomach problems, in fact excellent recovery. I qualified for the Aus Ironman for the Fourth time. I will be using Hammer Nutrition for this event and all my training leading up to it!

Thanks Hammer for the useful information at the seminar which was put to good use.

“Perpetuem has really simplified my race preparation.”

Perpetuem has really simplified my race preparation. Now I only mix up one bottle to get everything I need nutrition is the last thing on my mind.

I never get an upset stomach so I know I’m always going to challenge the other guys to the best of my ability. Running out of energy during 70.3 used to be a real issue but now I’m confident I can give it everything then still find more at the end of the race to get that podium spot.

“….easy to digest and work well together to supply calories…”

I use the Hammer gels and Perpetuem solids in training and races they taste great. They are both easy to digest and work well together to supply calories when running.

Hammer bars are a great snack and added calories for long training runs. As I am gluten and dairy intolerant these bars are perfect being both gluten and dairy free.

“…your product excellent, the advice was also fantastic.”

Would firstly like to say that I am 45, and have run since I was in school.

Now, since a lung disease 12 years ago, I am a hack, whose only goal is to finish races. I have a permanently reduced lung capacity. I started triathlon 4 years ago, and did the GC half last weekend (in 6 hours 15!!).

Anyway, being old, I have heard it all. Mostly from ‘experts’, particularly in the area of nutrition.

Last night was the absolute first time, that I have heard form someone who made sense to me.

When Steve spoke, my instant thoughts were ‘thank Christ, someone knows about this stuff’.

I have tried to eat, then eat some more, just because the experts told me to.They were wrong. Last year I did Yepoon, in 6.53. I ate constantly, felt like shit, and took 5 days to be able to walk upright. Last weekend I did a tougher course in 6.15, with only Hammer Gels and HEED, and drove home to Sydney the next day. Sore for one day.

I had done virtually no training this year (unintentional, but work commitments).

Hope the ‘experts’ can explain that!!!

Anyway, the point of this email is to say thanks.

Appreciate the seminar, and I will certainly be sticking to Steve’s logical (and proven) advice.

Not only is your product excellent, the advice was also fantastic.

Please say thank you to Steve for me. I enjoyed his talk tremendously.

Again, praise the bloody Lord. Someone not trying to convince me to feel bloated all the time!! All the best.

“Recoverite is an absolute godsend…”

Over the course of many hours on the trails, losing vital salts and nutrients can affect performance hugely, so I needed something to keep those levels where they need to be for maximum performance, in both training and racing – Endurolytes hit the mark perfectly.

Recoverite is an absolute godsend when it comes to getting your body back in order after a big training run, it can be the difference between feeling great the next day and ready to train again, or simply having trouble getting out of bed.

“…..effective nutrition but also back it up with great support and advice…”

The Hammer Nutrition company not only supply athletes with effective nutrition but also back it up with great support and advice on the correct products and ways to fuel the body.

With a big range of different products and flavours the nutrition can be a key component for any athlete of any skill level.  Hammer = winning combination.

“I rode 260 kms on Saturday at average 30 kmh”

Fantastic Dave , I rode in the Port to Port on sat Mildura to Echuca Sun was cancelled due to bad weather, I rode 260 kms on Sat at av 30kmph. Could not of done it without Hammer Gel, HEED &Perpetuem. I had an accident on the bike 4 weeks ago 5 broken ribs so very STOKED

“…..food that actually tastes good…”

Getting hold of running food that actually tastes good can be a challenge, something Hammer has managed to nail.

During the course of an ultra, you need food that’s going to give you variety over anything up to 30 hours.

Most of the time, I’ve got my order within 48 hours of placing it – now that’s good customer service.

Darrel Robins – Runner

“….knocked 5 minutes off one of my regular 50 km routes.”

Some further feedback……on Saturday I did an 80km ride, and increased the “scoops” of Recoveriteto about 4&1/2 afterwards.

Although the difference wasn’t notable through recovery, there was a BIG lift today when I got on the bike and knocked 5 minutes off one of my regular 50km routes.

My legs and body in general felt incredibly strong, and I really felt as though I was flying up the hills. Clearly the glycogen stores were seriously replenished to the right levels.

I can only put it down to 1) taking Perpetuem through the 80k ride Saturday and 2) the increased intake of Recoverite on Saturday as noted above.

Test will be my next ride Wednesday, to see if I get a sustained result….I took an increased amount of Recoverite after my ride tonight as well.

Thanks again for the tips!!

“Without Recoverite, I would not be able to back up week in week out…”

I use Hammer Nutrition products in events ranging from 45km in the Blue Mountains all the way up to the 440km speed record set on the Hume and Hovell track running between Yass and Albury.

In training and shorter races I mix it up with the Hammer bars and gels. Endurolytes are also part of my race plan year round.

Without Recoverite, I would not be able to back up week in week out running the kilometres required to be successful at 100 and 150 mile races.

“A big thanks to you and Steve…..”

A big thanks to you and Steve for a great seminar. I could have sat through a couple of days of it – very interesting and lots of new ideas to try.

I have had nutrition issues in many of my past Ironman races and I am looking forward to really getting my Endurance Fuelling to 100% with no issues.

“It is just amazing……………..I never got hungry and really only needed a gel here and there to keep me smiling.”

“I would have to say that Hammer Nutrition’s Perpetuem completely changed my approach to training and racing nutrition; it is just amazing.

I rode the Australian solo 24 Hour mountain bike championships with Perpetuem as my only food source. I never got hungry and really only needed a gel here and there to keep me smiling.

The Hammer Nutrition guide on sports nutrition for endurance racing is spot on and the team have always been readily available to answer questions.”

“I had plenty left in the tank to get up and over.”

I followed your steps to a T. I had a really good ride,felt good the whole way, I didn’t eat anything at all only your goodies and few lollies here and there.

Every other year with around 70km to go l have had enough, probably by that stage I had already been sick. This year no sign of being sick,the further it went the better l felt.

The last climb of the day was the Westgate Bridge.

l had plenty left in the tank to get up and over.

Every other year I crawl up in 1st gear,get passed by heaps and really struggle. This year didn’t get passed at all and felt great.

I was amazed that I rode 230km and didn’t eat at all and felt so great.The next step l will have to recover properly.

Once again thanks for all your help, I will be ordering more and telling everyone else to get on board.
