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.
One of my favorite things about Fall is taking hostage the seeds from carved pumpkins and toasting them. I absolutely LOVE pumpkin seeds, but never really get them outside of Halloween time. I was super pumped when I spotted this Pumpkin See bar in my StrideBox. Heath Warrior Pumpkin Seed Bars are made with 8 simple ingredients (all of which you can probably find in your kitchen!): Pumpkin Seeds, Organic Wildflower Honey, Milled Quinoa, Black Pepper, Turmeric, Coconut Oil, Sea Salt. |
Regardless of the weather, we sweat during our workouts and in turn loose a lot of electrolytes in the process. During the summer I sweat A TON and often end up being covered in dried up salt crusties all over my face (ewww). I have tried to use other means of replenishing my sweat like salt packets, but I just can't to that. I end up choking on it - true story. With a few summer time half marathons coming up, I am pumped to try out the Salt Stick FastChews on my training runs to see if they will help replenish those electrolytes lost in my sweat. |
Through races and running store adventures, I have seen a countless number of flavors of GU, but I have never seen Gingerade out there - sounds intriguing. 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. |
The Vitalyte Electrolyte Replacement replenishes lost electrolytes and is also a barrier against oxidative stress. 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. |
If you have followed my blog or Instagram for any period of time, you have probably noticed that I always run with my right knee taped. Thanks to playing volleyball for 7 years and running over the past 5 years, my knee has taken quite a beating and often needs a little extra support on it. My Kinesiology tape has been a lifesaver! When I first spotted the AI Tape in my StrideBox, I thought it was just another Kinesiology tape. Nope. This tape is for both relief and recovery as it provides stability and also has topical pain relief ingredients to help cool and soothe muscles. With a cranky IT Band right now, I cannot wait to try this out for post run/workout recovery! |
The dog days of summer are quickly hitting Atlanta (and probably where you are too). I am constantly trying to find ways to stay even a little bit cooler on those hot and humid summer days. Heck, even running at night it is still way hot out there. While I probably won't run with this cooling towel, I will have it ready to use as soon as my runs are over with. It will be perfect to have in my car and ready to wet as soon as I get done with a race or training run this summer! |
