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 $15/month and you can cancel your subscription any time if you find that you aren't enjoying your box.
A lot of energy gels out there are packed full of crazy ingredients that you cannot pronounce and artificial sugars added into them. Endurance Tap energy gels are made with real food and just three ingredients: Canadian maple syrup, sea salt and ginger. That's it! If digestive issues come up for you with gels/fuel it might be because of hit your stomach like a brick on the run. Endurance Tap gels are easier on the stomach because of a thinner syrup consistency and the ginger which is is a digestive aid. 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, so this is a sample that I will be passing along to a friend for them to try out. |
I love a great snack, so I was excited to see Gorilly Goods in this month's StrideBox. Gorilly Goods arr Organic, Gluten Free, Raw and Vegan snacks made with ingredients such as bananas, nuts, sea salt, and raisins. I received the Trail pack in my StrideBox and cannot wait to try it out. The Trail is a blend of Organic Cashews, Organic Pecans, Organic Almonds, Organic Raisins, Organic Coconut, Organic Cacao Nibs, Organic Goji Berries, Organic Pineapple, and Sea Salt. I am always looking for good and healthy on the go snacks, so this is something perfect to try out! |
Did someone say COOKIES!??! Kakookies Energy Cookies are a recovery snack, fuel before a workout, or on the go snack that are also a guiltless treat. Kakookies are made with simple Superfood Ingredients. They are also Vegan and Gluten-Friendly, however please know that they are made in a facility with shared equipment that use wheat, dairy, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. I get to try the dark chocolate cranberry from my StrideBox, however the other Kakookie flavors sound just as tasty including Almond Cranberry, Boundary Waters Blueberry, Cashew Blondie, and Dark Chocolate Cranberry. |
I already mentioned that I am not a gel-lover. Instead, I fuel myself mid-run with chews or non-traditional sources such as gummy bears or hard candy. Kramp Krusher isn't your typical energy chew - rather than just provide energy Kramp Krusher solves energy depletion, electrolyte loss, & muscle cramping during your run. They are also fast absorbing for easier digestion (no belly issues). I love tangy and citrus flavors, so I am pretty pumped to try out the Salty Limon Kramp Krushers on my next training run. |
Spring ElectroRide is a 100% natural electrolyte and energy sports drink mix. Unlike a lot of other electrolyte mixes, ElectroRide is an all natural liquid mix to dissolve in approximately 16-18oz of water. I have my favorite electrolyte replacement hydration, so I am not too inclined to really switch things up. Typically when I find electrolyte mixes in my StrideBox I pass them along to friends who might be interested in the product. |
We often hear the saying about running being a free sport or how it is "cheaper than therapy" - well, those people have never seen how much STUFF I have in my running bag. From gadgets, charging cords, headphones, extra socks, and more, my bag is exploding with random stuff. I love organizational items, so I was pretty excited to see this Mesh Gear Stuff Sack in this month's StrideBox. This drawstring sack is perfect for keeping those gadgets all in one place or even putting my sweating post-run clothes into if I change clothes before running errands after my run. |
