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.
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. The Cracker N' Nut Butter Bar sounds absolutely amazing packed full of cashew butter, milk chocolate and sea salt. Basically it is all of my favorite things wrapped into on powerful snack. |
Gu new flavor Hoppy Trails "perfectly balances flavorful hops and milder citrus notes to complement your other GU favorites. We know the longer you’re out on the trail chasing personal bests, the more flavor variety your taste buds crave. So we’re always crafting delicious flavors made up of sweet, sour, salty, savory, and bitter taste qualities." 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. Even though I love raspberry, this is a sample that I will be passing along to a friend for them to try out. |
Since I can't do gels, I have to resort to other forms of energy/fuel on the run. In the past I have relied mostly nontraditional things like gummies or even hard candy. Yes, I know it is odd. Run Gum is basically an energy gum that has caffeine, taurine, and b vitamins to give you that extra boost as you long miles. I heard about Run Gum a few months ago from friends who absolutely swear by it. I had thought about giving it a try but never got around to it, so this is the perfect opportunity to finally check it out and see if this might be my new race day fuel option. |
When you are at the gym 4-5 nights a week and run races every single weekend, you are bound to have to run the occasional errand before you can get a shower. Yes, the gym has showers, but you don't always have time to jump in or want to if you are just running into the store to grab something for dinner. Recess Wipes will be a great addition to my gym bag and race bag. They are refreshing deodorant wipes that let you freshen up a bit so you aren't too offensive to other patrons during those gym/run errands. |
I have seen Tiger Balm on social media over the past few years and have never had the chance to try it out. With two different pain relief options including patches and cream, Tiger Balm looks to be a great pill-free relief for those hard-worked muscles after a tough workout or long run. Let's just be real, I get plenty of those aches and pains, so having some options in my running bag and gym bag is always a plus. |
Foot care is one of the biggest maintenance and recovery tools for runners. I am constantly looking for new and better ways to give my feet the attention that they deserve - after all, I put a lot of miles on them and I need to thank them for all that they do. While the StrideBox Six-Point Massage Ball is intended for full body use, I absolutely cannot wait to use this to help treat my feet to a little massage between runs. I also think that my shoulders will also really enjoy this as well. Foam rollers are big and not very transportable, so this is great for throwing into my bag for after a run/workout or suitcase when traveling. |
