'I was introduced to Fuel Belt from a friend of mine on a long run, he had it on and I asked what it was, I soon found out, every time I needed to stop for some water at a petrol station or some ones house, he would be 200m up the road waiting for me sipping away on one of his bottles. I asked him if I could try it on and give it a test, I wore it for a few kilometers and then took it off and gave it back to him.....when I did that I felt like my hips and pelvis gave way, it was like the Fuel Belt was holding me up, holding my form and making me run strong and up right, something most runners are all ways trying to do. It was exactly like a weight lifters belt, keeping that athlete in a strong position. From that day I was hooked and have not run any Ironman with out wearing my Fuel Belt, not only does it keep me hydrated but it holds my running form, something extremely important in running a marathon.”

"Ironman is all about fuel and carrying my own nutrition is the most important thing. I never rely on the foods that are provided on race day and Fuel Belt allows me to do this. I have used a fuel belt for most of my Ironman racing career. It's functional, comfortable and serves a critical purpose in endurance racing. It is great to align myself with a company that is passionate about performance. FuelBelt makes my job easier and gets me to the finish line."

"My Fuel Belt is an essential part of my racing and training gear. Leaving home without it on a long run would be like driving without a seatbelt or cycling without a helmet. Why run with the unnecessary risk of bonking when I can carry my nutrition needs comfortably in my Fuel Belt."

"The body is like a gas tank - if you do not keep it fueled you will run out of gas. Fuel Belt allows me to fill up on the run making sure that there is enough gas in the tank to get me to the finish as fast as possible."

"Even before I won in Kona while carrying my own fuel on the run I fully understood the importance of proper fueling and hydration in long hard events. It wasn't until Fuel Belt came along though that the idea became a practical reality for most people in triathlons. I've been using Fuel Belts since Day 1. On most of my training sessions I don't have aid stations every few miles. Many of my runs I don't see another person for an hour or more. I take everything I need in my Fuel Belt every run."

"I spend my year following the sun to train, that means being in some very hot places at times. I couldn't get through my run training without a Fuel Belt. I carry my water and calories to get me through the miles and in addition clip my trusty Ipod to my belt to keep me boogieing along. I always have my keys and extra's tucked away in the pocket. With all this....I get through my training successfully and show up race day fit."

"For me Fuel Belt is an essential product on my long training runs and in long distance racing. As it is very important to always stay hydrated during training and racing Fuel Belt is the perfect tool to help with that. Also, in races I like to get the sportsdrinks I use in training and my bodysystem is adapted to - Fuel Belt gives me the opportunity to carry my own nutrition and rehydrate with my body known Sports drinks."

"I started working with FuelBelt a year ago and while I have to admit that at first I was not too eager to wear a belt during my Ironman marathons, I now almost feel naked without it. It played an important role during the 2006 IM France where I placed second and certainly at the Embrunman Ironman where I won while setting a new course record. Being able to wear my own drinks and not having to rely entirely on the feeding zones brought a valuable level of comfort. I am therefore pleased to be associated with such a brand that precisely understands the needs of endurance athletes. Thank you."
