Gift Guide for Endurance Athletes

Runners, cyclists, swimmers and rowers have all got one thing in common — they're endurance athletes. If you know one, you’ll know about it. Mostly because they’re so keen to let you know they are.

They’re dedicated, though, we’ll give them that much. And with dedication comes a perfect opportunity for gifting.

Whether it’s a pair of running socks, a running vest or recovery supplements, we’ve got you covered with this ultimate gift guide for endurance athletes.

Nutrition gifts for endurance athletes

There’s a common myth that supplements — particularly protein — are only for lifters. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Protein is essential for anyone who exercises, helping them recover and perform at their best. So why not help them stock up on the nutrition that fuels their training?

Pre-Workout Gel

Convenience in a sachet. Think of it like those squeezy yoghurts you loved as a kid, but packed with pre-workout goodness. With 200mg of caffeine, citrulline malate, and beta-alanine, this gel delivers a quick energy boost, perfect before a long ride or run.

Energy Gel Elite

This gel is an instant energy fix, combining maltodextrin for quick carbs, fructose for sugar, and electrolytes for preventing cramps. Mid run, you just tear it open and consume to feel a boost within minutes.

Recovery Gel

After a long session, even making a shake feels like a chore. That’s where Recovery Gel comes in. Packed with carbs, protein, BCAAs and glutamine, it’s the perfect way to kickstart recovery.

Clear Whey Protein Powder

Whether they're already a fan or you’re introducing them to something new, Clear Whey Protein is a must. Each shake delivers at least 19g of protein in a refreshing, juicy flavour — a great way to help them meet their protein goals.

Clear Vegan Protein

For something truly unique, give them Clear Vegan Protein — the world’s first of its kind. It’s refreshing, packed with real fruit, B vitamins and 10g of plant-powered protein.

Protein Snacks

No gift is complete without a sweet treat. Whether it’s to get them through the afternoon or a post-workout snack, we've got plenty of options. Choose from our bestselling Crispy Wafers, Hazelnut Whips or award-winning Impact Bars.

In her spare time, she’s either cooking up a storm, our looking out for the opportunity to try out Manchester’s newest restaurants. But as a huge fan of carbs, if it’s not pasta or pasta-adjacent, she’s not interested. If she’s not in the kitchen, she’s tucked up with a book for an early night, or you’ll find her in the gym working up a sweat. Afterall, all those carbs require quite the appetite.
