jack sinclair Archives - Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes

One guy we sponsor here at Hammer Nutrition is 18 yo Gold Coast guy, Jack Sinclair.

Jack’s done a range of amazing things already and in April this year did a staggering 1,200 km solo run around Tasmania in just 27 days.

That’s running more than a marathon a day on average for 27 days – the first day he ran 56 kms, with his longest day being 68 kms.

The Boy Can Run

The boy can run. And run and run and run.

He dodged Tiger snakes, Targa Tasmania cars and more.

Anyway, Jack sent me in a few photos and it shows the one thing you need when you’re doing an amazing endurance run – yep, see that stuck there in the back of his backpack (he ran with just a Camelback – he didn’t wash for the first 2 weeks – yuck!) in the photo below??

All you need to run 1,200 kms – a Camelback and Hammer Gel!

It’s a Hammer Gel.

The only thing you need for competing incredible ultra endurance events! Nice work Jack and great run.

Cheers

David and the team

One of the guys we’ve mentioned once or twice on this site is Gold Coast lad Jack Sinclair – that’s Jack below enjoying a Hamer gel somewhere on the Nullarbor.

Jack is probably the fittest kid in Australia and in the last 12 months he has, amongst other things:

cycled across Australia – that’s 4,500 kms in 30 days
run the Gold Coast Marathon
completed the grueling 96 km Kokoda Challenge

He’s Just 16 Years Old

And he’s just 16. Yep, 16 years of age.

Jack also donated and manages the web site for the very popular Sydney to Surfers bike ride.

He’s helped raise tons of $ for charity with those various things.

To top all that off he’s also currently going for his private pilot’s licence. Busy lad!

Jack Uses Nothing But Hammer Products

Jack’s always been a big fan of Hammer products and him and his dietician planned out the cross Australia training and the ride itself using Hammer products as his energy base.

Jack told me he used gels and Heed as he goes, Perpetuem for the long stuff and swears by Recoverite for his post training recovery.

“Thanks for the products David – the Hammer stuff got us across Australia. It’s great knowing I have the right stuff every time I do an event – feels like I have a big advantage before I even start,” said Jack.

No worries Jack – keep up the good work.

Cheers

David
