While every product might not be the best fit for you, you can typically find a friend that might want to try it out instead. The best part about StrideBox is that it is just $19.95/month and you can cancel your subscription any time if you find that you aren't enjoying your box.
Each month when I receive my StrideBox, I am honestly like a kid on Christmas morning. I absolutely cannot wait to rip into my box and see what kind of goodies await me.
It is time to dig into this month's StrideBox and check out the goods...
Between work, running, the gym, and trying to have somewhat of a personal life, I am on the go A LOT. In order to avoid things like vending machines and drive-thru, I try to have healthy snacks with me for when I get a little hangry. I am always looking for new snacks to throw in my purse, gym bag, or desk drawer to keep me fueled and ready to go. This bar includes mint and almonds surrounded by a dark chocolate coating, and can serve as a meal replacement snack as well as an after-workout recovery bar. It contains gluten free ingredients and zero trans fats, 10g of whey protein, 23 vitamins and minerals, calcium and antioxidants. |
I LOVE LOVE LOVE gummies. In fact, gummies have been a much loved run fuel choice for me over the years. Any time I get a chance to try out some chew or "gummy fuel" options, I get pretty pumped. Honey Stinger energy chews give you a boost with natural and sustainable source of energy with multiple carbohydrate sources: glucose, fructose, maltose and sucrose. They are also sweetened with organic honey and tapioca syrup and are USDA Organic and certified gluten free. |
I frequently seen Zip Fizz at a number of race expos that I have attended over the years and have tried a few samples from time to time. It is definitely a nice, light, and crisp drink and very refreshing. This month I scored a sample of limited edition flavor, peach mango. Summer might be off a good ways, but in the meantime, I will definitely enjoy sipping on my peach mango Zip Fizz and looking forward to summer. |
Through races and running store adventures, I have seen a countless number of flavors of GU, but here comes a new flavor that I am sure to see popping up everywhere....caramel macchiato! Unlike a lot of runners, I am not a gel girl by any means plus coffee is not my jam (I know, I know). There is something about the texture that gets me and I just can't do it, so I have to resort to alternative means of fuel on my long runs, so this is a sample that I will be passing along to a friend for them to try out. |
I admit it, I am a heavy sweater so my running gear doesn't exactly smell so fresh after a workout or run. Defunkify is safe on performance fabrics, residue free, removes sweat stains, is environmentally friendly and safe for HE washing machines. Defunkify detergent goes beyond athletic apparel and is is ready to take on workout gear such as shoes, hydration packs, yoga mats, towels, and more. Running gear isn't cheap so I want to make sure that I take care of my gear and also not stink before I even start my workout. |
With the days being shorter and the sun going down before many of us get home in the evening, a lot more runners will be out logging their miles in the dusk/dark hours of the day. Runner safety is something that I am a HUGE advocate for so any time I get my hands on gear that makes my runs safer, I am pumped. This month's StrideBox included a LED headlamp. PLEASE, please make sure you are easily visible on your run no matter what time of the day, but especially on those dark runs. |
