Hi, my name is Al Gonzales, and I’m a proud husband and father of four. I began my athletic journey in high school, where I experienced early success in track and field. However, during college, my focus shifted to bulking up, and running took a back seat. That all changed in 2023 when I discovered Spartan racing, allowing me to combine my running roots with the mental and physical strength I have developed over the years.
My journey with Hammer Nutrition started the same year when I read "Ultramarathon Man" by Dean Karnazes. Intrigued by the products "Endurolytes" and "Perpetuem," I discovered a brand that now fuels every mile and every race. Since then, I have participated in 17 competitive & pro races, including my first ultramarathon, earning podium finishes in 11 of them. My progress is a direct result of Hammer’s top-tier fuels, supplements, and the invaluable support from their team.
At 40 years young, I’m just getting started. With Hammer Nutrition by my side, I’m pushing limits, breaking barriers, and unlocking my full potential.
