Gary Thwaites
Legendary ultrarunner and host of @teaandtrails podcast
"I love the Maple Ignite gels. Super tasty on the trails and only two ingredients too. I also take Run Easy every day and I've been so impressed with the results, I don't think about my old injury anymore!"
Katie Wright
GB AG Triathlete and Aquathlete; European silver medalist.
"I use Protein Rebel's gels for an energy boost, magnesium for recovery and sleep, and protein powder. The protein powder is lovely. I actually use it to make banana oat protein flapjacks"
Sarah Doherty
Ultrarunner; 3rd female - Spine Sprint 2024
‘Since my chronic Achilles injury which stopped me running for almost a year I’ve taken Run Easy religiously! I add my collagen either to orange juice or into my protein shake after a workout... this is an essential part of my supplement toolkit to help keep me injury free!’
Ben Russell
UK Athletics running coach and @couchtocoached podcast host
"I have been using Maple Ignite now for a few months and having tried many gels in the past I have to say this is the best. An energy gel made from only two ingredients that tastes great and provides that energy kick needed on hard workouts and race days to get me through. I have raced three times since using Maple Ignite and hit big PBs in each of them."
Lis Kilcourse
GB AG Triathlete
"Competing for GB as an age group athlete and nationally as an elite athlete, I have been using Protein Rebel for a few years now. Their protein is tasty and helps me to recover from hard sessions. Their gels are gentle on the stomach which means I can take them without feeling nauseous when I'm out running. They're a kind team as well, who look after their athletes :)"
Sophie Carter
Ultrarunner & coach; Winner of Race to the Stones 2024 and Race to the King 2024 (course record holder)
“Protein Rebel has been absolutely key to my recovery after long runs. No injuries due to the Run Easy collagen. I’m a busy single Mum of 5 so a quick collagen drink supports me morning and night. I have the magnesium at night for my muscles, to prevent cramps and aid sleep, and I use the tasty Maple Ignite gels. I lost count of how many I took during my 100km races but fuelling on the run is essential, especially with these as they are easy on the digestive system."
Rosie Harrison
Ultrarunner
"The collagen powder is really easily dissolvable and I love that it's unflavoured. They recommend adding it to liquids so it's a staple now in my morning coffee. But I've been experimenting with it in protein pancake batter, overnight oats etc, so it's really easy."
Helen Gaunt
Elite runner, UKA coach, PT & nutritionist
“Protein is one of the building blocks to enable me to train hard, maintain muscle, and recover well. I use Accelerate as it's all natural and kind to the body. I'd never trusted using a protein powder before this!"
Liam Mitchell
Spartan AG European Champion 2022 and Spartan coach
“Protein Rebel have been fuelling my journey for sometime now. Their natural products ensure smooth digestion, taste awesome, enhance your performance and even help boost your recovery. They prioritise athletes health, and it really shows. You can honestly taste and feel the difference when performing or recovering. This is why I choose Protein Rebel products!”
Bernie Siu
Run Leader for Run Higher Collective and triathlete
“I was introduced to Protein Rebel by a friend, initially using protein powder post workout. I enjoy the gel because it’s completely natural and gentle on my stomach during marathons. As I get older, collagen replacement plays a vital role to ensure my joints are supported and so I use the collagen powder regularly and have never looked back.”
Elaine Sherwin
British and World canicross champion - Winner of multiple World, European and National titles including 5 European medals
“My training and racing is going really well since starting Protein Rebel’s Run Easy. I have run my best 10K course time since 2014 and beat my 1994 half marathon time by 4 minutes! I’m also recovering much quicker after hard training sessions.”
John Steadman
GB AG Triathlete
"I love using Protein Rebel's Maple Ignite energy gels. They give me a good natural source of energy when I need it to assist with hard training sessions and races. The fact that all the ingredients are natural is awesome!"
Laura Swanton Rouvelin
Ultrarunner & coach; Winner of multiple Ultras including Hope 24
"I’m loving the products and am so pleasantly surprised how tasty the gels are and how well they sit in my stomach. I do a lot of long-distance ultras and my downfall is fuelling. I’ve been looking for years for something I can stomach throughout a race. Loving the protein powder too and I’m taking the magnesium every night and I am sure I’m feeling the benefits."
Helen Ryvar
Guinness World Record Holder - Running 1000 consecutive half marathons
"Power Up magnesium powder and Run Easy collagen help my bones and muscles recover
quicker, so I'm ready to run again tomorrow. These powders are flavourless
and easily mix with my morning protein shake or cup of tea or coffee. And the wonderful gels help fuel my runs. No nasties in these, just maple syrup and sea salt to give me that extra boost."
Grant Grego
Ultrarunner, coach & double Ironman finisher
"The gels taste absolutely incredible and come in so handy during my 100 mile races. The collagen and protein powders really are the best!"
Rey Smart
Fitness coach, runner, trainer and motivator
"I use the vegan protein powder and also the Maple Ignite gels during my marathons. The gels provide me with clean and effective energy which is gentle on my stomach."
Gemma Harris
Ultrarunner; 2nd place female Endure24 (2023)
"I have been using the collagen for over a year now. As an ultrarunner, my body takes a battering and anything I can do to help it recover or repair quicker, I will. The collagen is great. It is literally tasteless so I pop it in my protein shake or green tea in the morning and just let it do its thing!"
Zuzana Nemeckova
Nutrition coach & ultrarunner
"I use all of Protein Rebel's products to help with my training and recovery. Yes, I am their ambassador, but I wouldn't be if I didn't like the products, and I genuinely feel their beneficial effects."
James Cooper
Ultrarunner - Running 366 marathons in 366 days in 2024
"Protein Rebel's Maple Ignite is on fire! It's quickly become my favourite energy gel...good gawd almighty, it's absolutely delicious!"
Toni Moore
GB AG Aquathlete; World Championships 2025
"I use your products religiously now and wow! The gel especially is SOO much better than any I've tried before. They are so easy to take and don't leave any gummy residue in your mouth. They are also easy on the stomach."
Kerllen Rego
Marathoner, triathlete & award-winning blogger - 16 marathons and counting...
"I've suffered with many injuries due to the high intensity of training for marathons. Run Easy has helped to repair my joints, tendons, and ligaments, and it also helps to reduce post-run muscle soreness. I'm feeling much better since I started using it."
