Gareth Jones | Beacons Way Ultra | 100 Miles | 5th Place Finish

Gareth Jones – HFN athlete – put BareFuel to the test at the brutal Beacons Way Ultra, finishing 5th out of 127 starters 💪🏼

Here’s how he fuelled with BareFuel Orange:

🟠 1 scoop in 500ml pre-race
🟠 1 scoop in 500ml bottle on course
🟠 At each checkpoint: 2 scoops BareFuel + Revive Active electrolytes
🥞 Food strategy: mac & cheese, waffles, pastries until solid food became an issue
🟠 Final 15 miles: 2 bottles of BareFuel + Revive Active only
🟠 2x 500ml bottles of BareFuel for the final push
✅ Zero stomach issues

What he had to say 👇
"It maintained me, I felt good.  The result reflects that.  No stomach issues.  My head felt good, sometimes your head can go because of the caffeine intake but no that was good.  The best thing about it is that I do not get stomach issues" @mentalhealthwanderer

Consistent carbs, hydration, and electrolytes = strong finish and no GI distress.

From us 👇
"Massive congrats to Gareth on a brilliant performance at one of the UK’s toughest 100-mile ultras.

At Highland Fuel Nutrition, we know that fuelling is personal — and no single product works for everyone, all the time. Most athletes will use a mix of products to meet their needs across long events. We're not under any illusion that BareFuel is the only solution — but we do believe it can work for the majority."

Gareth’s result is a great example of how consistent fuelling with BareFuel can deliver when it matters. Here’s to many more miles supported by HFN ⛰️⚡️
