Perpetuem for Marathons, Ultra-Running & Long-Distance Events
Perpetuem is designed for athletes who need steady energy during long-distance events, including marathons, ultra-running, triathlon, sportive rides and multi-hour training days. Unlike shorter-session sports drinks, Perpetuem combines carbohydrate with protein and healthy fat, making it a strong choice when your event goes beyond the usual 2–3 hour window.

- Ideal for marathons, ultra-running, triathlon and long cycling events
- Combines carbohydrate with protein and healthy fat
- Useful when gels alone become hard to stomach
- Works well as a "meal in a bottle" style endurance fuel

Helped on a climb in 34c heat…. Yum flavour too
I've been using these for years and feel they give me a good foundation for my health.
Easy to take and and did the job. Meant I could drink plain water without missing out on electrolytes
My go to product to supplement my electrolyte needs.
Easy to use and nice taste.
On Saturday 14th September I stood on the start line at Bewts Y Coed. This was my 3rd 100 miler this year.
I have used Hammer since around 2010 in my Ironman days. As of today I have completed 428 marathons ‘all official races’ around the globe.. also quite a few ultras in my time.
I have used Recoverite on multi day ultras for the last 10 years. Great mix and flavour. I have converted many to this product.
Seems to be really helping recovery from my knee strain. I had a similar issue a couple of years ago which took weeks to sort. Fair do’s it doing what it says it will.
