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.
This month's Stride Guide had an extra special surprise on it though...ME! My StrideBox selfie was featured on the StrideGuide! How fun is that!?!?! Of course I took a selfie with my selfie!
As I have mentioned in previous months, I am always looking for great (and nutritional) snacks to keep in my purse and/or gym bag. Being on the go ALL THE TIME means that I need to make sure to get a snack in between work and the gym most nights. I was quite intrigued by the REDD Energy Bar in this month's StrideBox. REDD are meal replacement, superfood bars that also are slightly caffeinated. A bar that has some caffeine? Definetly interested - especially for those days were I might need a little extra "boost" in the afternoon. Plus, HELLO MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP! |
After a hard workout or run, there is no doubt that my body needs a little help in recovery. Skratch endurance recovery mix is an optimal ratio of what you are needing to rehydrate and recover after a tough workout: carbohydrate, protein, fat, and salt. I will be honest - even after having a few different recovery drink options in StrideBox, race expos, and race bags, I have never really dove into it. Skratch might just change this though - I mean, I can't say no to chocolate.... |
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....s'mores! 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 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 a limited edition flavor: pink grapefruit. Summer might be officially coming to an end in a few days, but with summer-like weather still sticking around, I will definitely enjoy sipping on my pink grapefruit Zip Fizz and reminiscing on summer. |
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. |
Raise your hand if you hate tangled headphones...ME! I love rocking out to my favorite playlist or catching up on some tv during my workouts at the gym, but my headphones get so tangled in my gym bag. Problem solved with these no-tangle ZIPPER earbuds! WHAT! Yes, the cord actually zippers together so they don't tangle! Papa J spotted these already and might be planning on snagging them from me... |
