Andrew Becker
Andy is a husband, father of 2 boys, and a middle school teacher in Tigard, Oregon.. He started his endurance life in the triathlon world after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, but found he loved distance running more than the other two sports. After a break from distance running when his youngest was born in 2020, Andy is back to training for his upcoming races. “Ever since getting back into distance running I have been looking for supplements that work and are made with quality ingredients. Ultraverse Supplements came on the radar after listening to Chase and Casey on the “Run the Riot Podcast” talking about their product, and I had to try it.. This is the first product that hasn’t messed up my stomach, and I appreciate it is plant based. I like the flavors too.”
Marcos Arroyo
Marcos is a former collegiate-athlete, amateur endurance athlete, husband, and currently Active Duty Army Officer. He loves a good challenge and has tested himself in endurance races in between his active duty service obligations. A few of his races include the 2021 Panama City Beach IRONMAN , 2018 Bear Mountain North Face Endurance Challenge 50, and the 2023 Cruel Jewell 50. Marcos is currently a Ranger Instructor at the Mountain Phase of Ranger School and his eyes are set on the 2024 Best Ranger Competition – a grueling military ultra endurance and skills competition.
“I’m always looking for the healthiest and most sustainable way to maintain my body for longevity and current performance, and I feel like I’ve found that in Ultraverse Supplements! I trust the sourcing and my recovery has truly never felt better. I am pumped to take my performance to the next level! “
Adam Knutson
Adam is a husband, father of 2 girls, and an ultrarunner. He fell in love with ultrarunning shortly after leaving the Army. “I started running Ultras in 2020. The challenge and dedication required drew me in, and then the community hooked me instantly. I first heard of Ultraverse when I did Hell Creek 100-miler. I have a sensitive stomach, and finding the right fuel for my runs was a struggle. On my first Proxima C run, I knew my nutrition was about to change for the better. I’m excited to be a part of Team Ultraverse to share their products with others who might be in a similar boat I was in. “
Devin Nelson
Devin is a husband, and father of 3 boys from Topeka, Kansas. He started down the endurance trail by signing up for Worlds Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour obstacle course race, in 2019. He discovered trail & ultra running in training for it. He is now a 3-time finisher of Worlds Toughest Mudder, has completed many ultras and multiple 100 milers, & is now training to compete at the highest level at the endurance OCRs across the country as well as continuing to push his limits and enjoy trail & ultra-running. “In my pursuit of finding the right electrolyte mix that works well for me during ultras and endurance OCRs, it was always a guessing game with the brands, the sugar content, and all the different products that are out there. I no longer have to guess as I found Proxima-C and it is the perfect supplement. When running endurance OCRs, you burn way more calories than just running as you are going through different obstacles, in and out of water and climbing at times very tall structures. Proxima-C is the perfect high calorie drink to fuel my races and training as it’s easy to consume and fuels my body’s needs. Terminus works well for recover as a lot of my training consists of a hybrid athlete approach and many hours in the gym. It’s great for repairing muscle breakdown and keeps my body recovered.“
Tasha Eichman
Tasha is a busy wife, mother of two young kids and works full-time managing the marketing department for a telecommunications company. She got into running and strength training as a way to relieve stress and enjoy a little quiet time for herself. She’s found a passion for pushing her physical and mental limits through a training schedule that includes HIIT, cycling, and running. “As I became more serious about training and competing in races I knew I needed to find supplements to assist in my training and recovery while also being gentle on my stomach. I was a bit hesitant at first and had no idea where to begin with supplements. After finding Ultraverse Supplements and working closely with them to get my many questions answered I started using T-30 and Terminus. I quickly noticed the positive effects and both supplements have been game changers in my training and recovery.”
Agatha McRill
Agatha is an ultrarunner, wife, and mom, and is currently working for her church. She started her ultrarunning journey in 2018 and has since completed more than 40 ultras, including multiple races of 100-200 miles. Her personal mission statement is to ‘inspire others to find their own empowerment through the gifts God has given [her].’ She continues to seek new distances and new ways to expand her comfort zone.
“I have a sensitive stomach, and that often slowed me down because I wasn’t able to take in enough calories. I’m not able to tolerate most of the supplement brands out there, so I was often DFL – just gritting it out to get to the finish with heavy legs. Once I discovered Ultraverse Supplements’ Proxima-C during the Cowboy 200, it revolutionized my energy levels. I’ve sworn by Proxima-C ever since, including during a 50-mile PR at Badwater Cape Fear this past year. Thank you Ultraverse!”
David Failing
David is an ultramarathoner, gravel cyclist, and aspiring bikepacker. He has raced at the back of the front of the pack since 2014, including an overall win at the 2018 Farmdale 100 miler, and multiple podium finishes at the Cry Me A River! Trail Runs, which he now codirects. “In training and races, I have a pretty iron stomach, so I have the luxury of experimenting with a number of nutrition sources. I’ve always preferred to support small businesses, and when I started paying closer attention to my in- and post-race nutrition in 2023, I was happy to find Ultraverse Nutrition as an alternative to the products I’d previously used. Terminus has quickly become a favorite part of my post-run and post-ride meals.”
Shane Plemons
Shane is married with two daughters. He started running in 2017 as a way to set a good example for his girls. Soon he realized he really enjoyed the racing community, and was starting to expand the distances to half marathons then to marathon. His first Ultra was in October 2020 at the Rails To Trails Extravaganza 100 mile.
From 2020-2022, the reoccurring issue of battling nutrition was a huge problem. After 30-35 miles there was a loss of appetite, and because my mouth was so dry, nothing sounded good. I tried various supplements and products on the market, but none seemed to work. In 2023, I started using Ultraverse Supplements. Using T-30 daily, I quickly found that my energy levels increased throughout all my activities. I this product daily, whether running that day or not. Proxima-C has been the answer I was searching for with my race nutrition. I found that I never get tired of the flavor, and it is an easy way to keep taking in calories throughout a race. Using Proxima-C for calories also forces me to keep drinking throughout the race, which has helped with the dry mouth and dehydration issues. Because it replaces my body’s electrolytes, I have been able to discontinue using salt supplements, and rarely have cramping issues. I started using Terminus as a recovery drink after my long runs, and found that I bounced back much quicker. I seemed to no longer battle soreness on back to back long run days. In my 100 mile races, I also found that I benefited by drinking Terminus approximately every 20 miles. This gave me extra calories during the race, and tremendously reduced my race recovery time.”
JJ Goodrich
Currently, JJ is on a mission to run 50 races in each of the 50 states! The races will range from a 1 mile road race to a 100 mile ultra trail race, and everything in between! He is also raising money for nonprofit charity, Running For Rescues in the process!

I believe in these products after using them consistently and because of the science, knowledge, and amazing people behind them. T-30 gives me the sustained energy and mental focus to tackle tough runs followed by a long, physical day at work. Terminus gives me a confidence in my recovery game and makes me feel revived after harder or longer efforts. I am so excited to be on Team Ultraverse and look forward to growing from here.”
Jonathan Prosser
Jonathan is from Topeka Kansas, a husband, & father of two sons. He loves traveling and trail running, & is now pursuing a dream of race directing, with his first successful race the Skyline Scramble in Topeka. His running journey began with an intentional choice to start living a healthier lifestyle. He went from struggling on a 2-mile loop of sidewalk in 2017, to completing his dream race, The Leadville Trail 100 in 2022. “Consistency is the key for me, and focusing on what’s right in front of you. Ultraverse Supplements have been outstanding, helping me achieve new goals in my endurance running and are taking my health and fitness to a new level. After using these products consistently, learning the science, and knowing the people behind these products, I am convinced that T-30 gives me the mental focus and strength for my tough training runs. Terminus is my best friend in recovery; it has helped me recover from my runs faster & better than anything else I’ve tried. It’s easy to mix and has a great taste. Proxima C is also a great endurance electrolyte drink. It’s not too sugary and is super easy on my gut. The results of using these products are showing; I feel my endurance strengthening.”
Kelli Means
Kelli Means is a Nebraska native and relative newcomer to the ultra distance. She first started running after college to help manage depression and signed up for her first half-marathon in 2012. Unfortunately, Kelli suffered some injuries and took a break from running from 2014-2020. During the early days of COVID, she returned to running and completed a 150 miles in 30 days challenge. Since then, she has increased her sights from half-marathons to marathons, and took her first leap into ultra-running in June 2023 when she tripled her longest distance during The Sticks 72-hour race. “I first heard about Ultraverse when my friend signed up for the Cowboy 200. When she deferred, I volunteered to help at the aid stations and fell in love with the people. I tend to have an iron stomach when running until around mile 16. As a heavy sweater, I need to make sure I’m taking in salt, but a lot of electrolyte formulas taste too sweet after awhile. Proxima C has been huge in keeping me hydrated on longer runs.”
Ed West
Although Ed is an over-50 runner, he is fairly new to ultramarathon distances. He ran my his ultra in November 2019 at age 52 and has come to love the sport. Each course, its elevation and terrain, and the weather create a unique and challenging experience.
Building a strong base as an older runner with limited experience came with some adversity. Trying to balance the quality and quantity of mileage while adequately recovering during each training phase was difficult. I found myself wondering if constant soreness was part of the cost for being in the best shape of my life! Simultaneously, I was also learning how to properly hydrate and maintain proper nutrition during training and racing. Unfortunately, many of the lessons learned came the hard way. I often found myself dehydrated and lacking the calories needed for a quality run. While I was conscious of this, my mind would not allow me to take in what I needed. Simply put, the idea of eating the calories needed and drinking (I tried most everything) enough to be at the top of my game was too much for my mind to allow.
Thankfully, Ultraverse Supplements became available at the time I needed them the most. Chase and Casey Hammond were the race directors for my first 100-miler, so the trust I had in them was enough for me to try both T-30 and Terminus. A few months later, Proxima C was released, and now all three products are a part of my training program.
Almost immediately after starting with T-30 and Terminus, I noticed that my recovery during training runs was quicker and more complete than before. I no longer regularly started a run still sore from the previous day, and the quality of each run improved. I found myself able to take on a more intense training schedule by consistently taking the T-30 daily and finishing each long run or high-intensity run with Terminus. I can’t overstate the difference I experienced!
Proxima C completed the trifecta by offering a source of liquid calories that also provides other necessary nutrition. I ran a 50-miler, a 100-miler, and a 140-miler in 2023 almost exclusively with it as the sole source of calories, nutrition, and hydration. Not only is it effective in terms of its ingredients, I can stick with it for the duration of a race without the typical fatigue that comes with other products.
My racing schedule for 2024 will be my most challenging, yet, but I have greater confidence in my ability to train and compete with Ultraverse Supplements. I would highly recommend Ultraverse Supplements to any endurance athlete looking for the right combination of nutrition and hydration to perform at a high level.
