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.
Unlike a lot of runners, I am not a gel girl by any means. 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. 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. I am not a huge fan of beets, but I will give them a shot and see... |
Amino VITAL Action is an amino acid drink mix for fast muscle energy and nutritional hydration. Packed with powerful plant-based amino acids and electrolytes, Amino VITAL Action helps continuously hydrate, fuel muscles, and fight fatigue before it sets in. It also contains NO caffeine and NO artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavorings. I have my favorite hydration, so I am not too inclined to really switch things up at this time. Typically when I find electrolyte mixes in my StrideBox I pass them along to friends who might be interested in the product. I do have to say though, the lemon flavor seems light and refreshing, so I will likely give this a try. |
One of the newest products to the nuun product line is nuun Vitamins. nuun are tabs that you add to your water made with plant based ingredients and are gluten-free, vegan, and soy/dairy free. With nuun vitamins, you will get 11 vitamins and minerals most of us don’t get enough of plus electrolytes to get you through the day. I don't know about you, but I am not passing up any chance to get some extra vitamins in me. Oh, and I was sent a very yummy sounding strawberry melon sample, so CHEERS! |
Fact: I LOVE snacks! 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. Evoe's organic cinna-muesli is a blend of Gluten Free Oats, Cranberries, Walnuts, Apples, Coconut Oil, Raisin Puree, and Sunflower Seeds in a conveient package that is great for on the go and putting in your yogurt or milk. This definitely sounds like a perfect mid-day snack. |
I don't know about you but my lips get so dry and chapped year round - especially on long runs - and I am constantly looking for a GOOD lip balm to protect and soothe my lips. I am a bit of a self-proclaimed lip balm snob, but OMG the Blue Rub Natural Lip Balm is ah-maz-ing! It goes on so smooth and isn't "goopy" or gritty. Since it has SPF 15, I know my lips will feel great and be protected out in the summer sun. This is definitely going to be a staple in my running bag ASAP! Spoiler: while the unflavored is great there is a coconut kiwi flavor that sounds absolutely amazing and I need to find some of that soon. |
I admit it, I am a heavy sweater so my running gear doesn't exactly smell so fresh after a workout or run. Win Sports Detergent is safe on all high performance fabrics, residue free, removes sweat stains, is environmentally friendly and safe for HE washing machines. Win Sports Detergent 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. |
