Hammer Gel | Fast-Acting Energy Gel for Running, Cycling, Triathlon and Endurance Sport

Hammer Gel is a smooth, concentrated energy gel designed to deliver quick, reliable fuel for training and racing. Trusted by endurance athletes for decades, it provides a portable and practical source of energy without unnecessary fillers.

It is suitable for a wide range of endurance activities, including running, cycling, triathlon, mountain biking, hiking, rowing, and other long-duration exercise.

Why Hammer Gel Stands Out

Many energy gels rely on excess sugars and artificial ingredients. Hammer Gel uses long-chain carbohydrates to provide efficient energy delivery in a clean, concentrated formula designed for endurance performance.

Key features include:

• Smooth texture for easy use on the move
• Non-sweet taste
• Easy to digest for many athletes
• Suitable before exercise or during longer efforts
• Convenient when solid food is not practical

Hammer Gel also uses maltodextrin instead of simple sugars such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose. This helps provide fast, sustained energy while reducing the risk of energy spikes, crashes, and digestive discomfort.

Why UK Athletes Choose Hammer Gel

Hammer Gel is built for endurance training and racing, making it a popular choice for marathons, sportives, ultra events, triathlon, long rides, gym sessions, and hard training blocks.

Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a jersey pocket, race belt, or running vest.

Key Benefits of Hammer Gel

• Fast, convenient energy for endurance exercise
• Ideal for running, cycling, triathlon, and long training sessions
• Compact and easy to carry
• Smooth texture for easy use during exercise

• Trusted by endurance athletes for years

What Hammer Gel Is

Hammer Gel is an energy gel made to provide usable fuel during exercise. It is especially popular with runners, cyclists, triathletes, and other endurance athletes who want a simple, portable carbohydrate source.

When Hammer Gel Can Be Used

Hammer Gel can be used:

• Before training or racing
• During long-distance exercise
• As part of an endurance fuelling strategy
• When solid food is less practical

Because it is concentrated, many athletes use it in small servings with water for more controlled fuelling during longer sessions.

Who Hammer Gel Is For

Hammer Gel is ideal for:

• Runners tackling long runs, half marathons, marathons, and trail races
• Cyclists needing fuel for training rides, sportives, gravel rides, and racing
• Triathletes wanting practical fuel for bike and run segments
• Gym users and hybrid athletes training at high intensity
• Endurance athletes who prefer portable, easy-to-use carbohydrate fuel

Whether you are chasing a PB or just trying not to hit the wall like a bricklayer after lunch, Hammer Gel helps keep fuelling simple and effective.

How To Use Hammer Gel

Hammer Gel can be taken before exercise or during training and racing.

Typical use:

• Take one serving 10 to 15 minutes before exercise if needed
• Use 1 to 2 gels per hour during longer sessions, depending on energy demands
• Consume with water
• Adjust intake based on body size, workout length, intensity, and your overall fuelling plan
• Always test your fuelling strategy in training before race day

Fuel Guidelines

Exercise under 3 hours

• Take 1 serving 10 minutes before exercise
• Then consume every 45 minutes during exercise
• Drink 475 to 768 ml of water per hour depending on conditions

Exercise over 3 hours

• Use Hammer Gel as a secondary fuel
• Use Perpetuem® or Sustained Energy® as your primary fuel
• Combine fuels as needed to maintain appropriate calorie intake

Why Hammer Gel Is Different

Hammer Gel uses complex carbohydrates, all-natural ingredients, and a pH-balancing formula to provide fast-acting, long-lasting energy that is easier on the stomach than many sugar-heavy gels.

It also contains branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which may help reduce muscle breakdown and delay fatigue.
