Hi! My name is James Nalley and I have been Hammering since 2021. First of all, I am stoked and honored to be a sponsored Hammer athlete! My first experience with Hammer was when I ventured into the ultrarunning scene, particularly the 100 milers. Until then, I had mainly relied on water, soda, and the usual snacks for nutrition. However, I always felt like something was lacking in my electrolyte intake, despite what the races were offering. By chance, I came upon Hammer’s Heed and Endurolytes and it immediately felt different. I simply felt more balanced! Hammer has been a game changer for me, especially in my 200-mile races. To date, I have completed the Bigfoot 200, the Moab 240, and the Tahoe 200, all in the top 25. I also use Hammer products in timed races ranging from 6 to 72 hours, all of which I have podiumed. Currently, my favorite Hammer products include: Heed (orange and lemon-lime), Endurolytes Extreme, Perpetuem 2.0 (solids, Caffé Latte), Endurolytes Fizz, and Anti-Fatigue Caps. When I am not training or racing ultras, I love volunteering at races, cooking, and hanging out with my family and friends.
