Richard Fletcher

Fletch is a marathon runner.

Hi, I'm Fletch, I’m an ex-rugby player and now a keen runner and golfer, I’m married and have 1 daughter, 4 boys and 3 beautiful grandchildren. I’m a late addition to running and I am currently focusing on the London marathon with hopefully a time around 4½ hrs. I also enjoy running half-marathons and 10ks. 
Since retiring from rugby I enjoyed coaching at a good level before taking up running, I have completed London 3 times, the Great North Run twice, Great South run 3 times. I’m training hard to achieve a 4hr 30min London Marathon time.
With the training and exercise that I am doing I need that bit extra, I have used many products, but UCAN has been wonderful for me, with the pre workout and the edge for during my run, I have felt good and energised during my runs, with the pre workout giving me that extra fuelling before I go.
The zero-sugar aspect of the UCAN product is so good, as you get a sweet taste but without the sugar so for me with that middle age spread you are not getting that naughty aspect on the waistline, but getting the true benefits correct fuelling. 
Thank you to UCAN for asking me to be an ambassador for a truly amazing product and one that I feel will help anyone during there exercise journey.

Paul Bradford

Paul is a consistent Sub-3 Hour Marathon runner and Ironman Hawaii World Championship Qualifier

Paul's journey to endurance success had an unusual start. At school he focussed on 200m, and he found anything longer a real challenge. 
Many years later has talked into doing his first 10km.
Bitten by the running bug, he found the formula for running consistently sub-3 hours across the World Marathon Majors, and the breakthrough came when he started fuelling with UCAN. 
He has been competing in Ironman Triathlons for 10 years, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the World Championship in Kona. After following a more traditional sports nutrition approach, he has walked more Ironman marathons than he cares to recall due to stomach issues. 
In 2021, by changing one variable, and switching to UCAN, he took over 2 hours off his finish time and qualified for the World Championships.
His experience shows that endurance events, and the common approach of fuelling for them, can wreak havoc on the digestive system. He is a firm believer that UCAN offers a solution for achieving high performance without loading more stress onto our bodies. 
He now coaches athletes to achieve their goals, with a focus on "Performance and Longevity", which embodies the UCAN approach

Yiolanda Ttokkallos

I'm a UK Voice over artist/tv Presenter and I am really into fitness
I'm a mum of 2 young boys aged 7 and 5, so my desire to stay strong and fit as I can for them keeps me very motivated.

I started running during the first lockdown and realised how much I loved it, it felt like therapy and my chance to feel completely free and in the moment. When you are a mum it's nice to have something that is for yourself and I found that in running.
I started with 3k runs, which soon reached 5ks and before Christmas, in 2021 I ran my first 10k and came first out of the females in my age range.
I am now training for my 1st half marathon and as I live a pretty much keto lifestyle, I'm delighted to have discovered UCAN to help fuel my fitness, especially as I'm now running for longer.
I also strength train 3 times a week, which really supports my running.
I'm excited to add UCAN to my lifestyle, I feel their products will really help me achieve my goal.

Max Fallone

Max Fallone is a CrossFit athlete 

Max Fallone is an up-and-coming CrossFit athlete from the UK. I started CrossFit around 2 years ago, coming from a boxing background where I competed to a high standard for over 10 years. He currently works a full-time job as a Forrest school teacher on the Isle of Wight.  On the side of full-time work, he trains 6 days a week with the aim and goal of becoming a full-time CrossFit athlete, which has recently become a step closer as he has cut his working hours down to 4 days a week. This is to enable him to have more valuable time training and fulfilling my potential.

Since using UCAN it has transformed his training. After a long day at work, he can feel drained and as a result his training suffered. UCAN super starch, in particular, has given me the slow release of additional energy I need to be able to train to my full ability and compete to my full potential. I’m very excited to see what the future holds with the support of UCAN I believe I can achieve great things in the sport of CrossFit. 


Ian Tunnicliffe

Ian is a cycling coach who also has issues metabolising carbohydrates and proteins properly

Ian is a cycling, cyclo-cross and mountain bike (MTB) coach, Bikeability instructor and MTB Trail leader who has a passion for getting kids and adults on bikes.

He’s doesn’t have what you might call a natural build for a cyclist, he has more of a rugby physique developed as an elite athlete during his teens whilst playing for Bath Rugby Club. Since being diagnosed with a pituitary tumour at the age of 21, Ian has had a rollercoaster of a weight management journey throughout his adult life.  

Ian has recently discovered that he doesn’t metabolise carbohydrates and proteins properly which means managing blood sugar levels is very difficult and weight management is often a challenge. He uses Chocolate Pea Protein and Cranberry & Raspberry tub and UCAN Hydrate Watermellon tub.

Ian says “training and riding for work was a real challenge whilst on a restricted calorie intake as I needed to stay in ketosis on less than 18g of carbs per day which makes fuelling very difficult. I typically ride in excess of 100km each week for work plus my own adventure rides. Superstarch is allowing me to do this easily as it doesn’t cause an insulin spike, yet it gives me enough extra calories to get me through the cycling and still lose weight”.
 
Ian’s a lover of wilderness riding and he’s now using Superstarch post-weight loss to help him maintain optimum weight and adequately fuel him during his epic adventures.  


Chris o'brien

My life in 2009 - I was 38 years old, fat, unfit, ex-smoker, and couldn’t run from one lamppost to the next - oh and we were expecting our first babies... yes, it was going to be twins! I had to get my life together if I was going to be active with my kids and set a good example of health and well-being.
 
My love for running developed as a result. The start of a journey to fitness that has been one long experiment in all things training, hydration and nutrition.
I have run varying distances from 10k to marathon to 24 hour events. My first marathon I ran was in a time of 3:25:45 and back in October 2017 I broke 3 hours.


paul roberts

Paul is passionate about performance, fitness and health. He graduated from the University of Surrey in 2002 with a Bachelor’s degree in the Science and Management of Exercise and Health. From here, he began his career as a trainer and coach.

Initially, despite complying strictly with guidelines for movement and nutrition issued by government bodies responsible for health, Paul grew frustrated that, while athletes and clients became fitter, they were not necessarily healthier. Something crucial was missing. After years of self-driven study and experimentation, Paul concluded that our modern environment is alien to us. 

A glance at the health of our planet indicates the convenience of the modern world does not produce high performing, healthy everyday athletes. Inspired by our tall, lean, strong and healthy primal ancestors, Paul has created a simple approach to performance enhancement inspired by our ancestors and with personal responsibility and perception of reality at its core.

patrick walkington

Patrick Walkington is a British Triathlon Level 3 High Performing Coach who has raced every distance in Triathlon and continues to represent Great Britain at European and World Championship level.

Pat also competes in running races from fells to ultras and all in all is a pretty well rounded athlete. Pat has a degree in Sport Science & Coaching and runs his own triathlon coaching company as well as being a professional bicycle mechanic. The background story and the science behind UCAN piqued Pat’s interest and although sceptical, when Pat tried it, he found that it “does exactly what it says on the tin” – something a lot of rival products fail to do.

UCAN makes nutrition simple and no more GI distress issues is just an added bonus.

rory campbell

Hi, I am a 47-year-old runner living in Galashiels, Scottish Borders.

I haven’t always been a runner; I used to be a slightly overweight musician. I’m still a musician, just without the “overweight” tag. The running community in the Scottish Borders is big and varied, supporting all kinds of running interests. Gala Harriers is my club and one of the biggest in the Borders. So, after trying various running options I seem to have found my way to long trail runs, ultra marathons, challenges and adventures with friends and family. My teenage boys run but a lot of my running I do with my wife. It helps to coordinate the boys if we plan to do the same events although it doesn’t always work. Pushing those boundaries, though! Because of the large community of runners in the Borders we are always swapping tales of runs, gear, nutrition, training tips and I am personally connected to a number of clubs, both formal and informal, often sharing experiences through Strava, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. In the last 18 months or so I’ve been favouring the MAF approach (Maximum Aerobic Function) and running to a lower heart rate in a bid to improve my body’s ability to burn fat for fuel and increase my endurance.

Ucan has been a vital component to this both in training and racing. Some of the longer events last year that Ucan helped me to complete:
John Muir Ultra, Highland Fling Ultra, Scottish Islands Peaks Race, St Cuthbert’s Way (actually a dnf) and the Transalpine Run.
Plans for 2020 include the Loch Ness 360 (80 mile run), Barrathon and The Ring of Steall race.

Aaron Woodman

Aaron has been running for 5 years following a successful career in rugby.

He is head coach at Dynamic Running Strength, with a degree in Strength and Conditioning, from the university of St Mark & St John.

Following several marathons with GI issues with conventional fuelling protocols, he switched to UCAN and ran a PB of 2:24 to finish second Brit at Chicago marathon in 2019, without hitting the wall or suffering any GI problems. He has completed all six marathon majors.

Rob Arkell

Rob is an Ironman athlete and Marathon runner.

Rob has always been interested in sport. The first event he did was in 2010, when he ran Dublin marathon with a good friend. It was not a terrible experience, but harder than he anticipated. But Rob remembers saying to him on that day, “I want to try and do an Ironman.”He'd always watched the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. And he just said to Him, “Who the hell do you think you are? I can’t believe you’re even thinking this.”

Rob set the goal in 2012. He went from 12 and a half hours for his first one, to last year, two sub9 finishes with 8:53 and 8:55, which are pretty competitive times. Rob is lucky enough to have qualified for Kona three times, and has gone to Hawaii twice to do the race. He hope to go back again.

Rob is also a father of 3 and has a fantastic, supportive girlfriend and family, which is important when you're passionate about endurance sport. Since that first marathon, Rob's been lucky enough to qualify for a championship place at London Marathon and ran 2:37. He would love to aim for a sub 8:40 Ironman and a sub 2:30 marathon over the next year. Rob is very much interested in the overlaps between high performance in sport and all areas of life, as well as being a real advocate for health, wellness, and fitness.
