March StrideBox Goodies!
If you’re anything like me, you like getting home and seeing packages at your door! I know that I get my StrideBox at the beginning of the month so every day I would come home expecting to see it! I really love trying out all the goodies each month and it’s helping me find awesome products I would have never heard of.
This month’s StrideBox had some products that I’ve been drying to try. The great thing about StrideBox is that you tend to receive full sized products. At only $15 a month, it’s a great investment for runners. Not only that but you receive coupon codes and special offers if you want to reorder the items in your box!
Jimmy Bar
This is bar can be taken as a meal replacement bar or if you need a pre-workout boost. It’s high in protein and low in sugar which is a HUGE plus for me. Sugary drinks and snacks do not sit well with me on long runs so I make sure to avoid them. This bar will definitely come in handy for my upcoming long runs!
Boom! Nutrition
I’ve gotten an energy/carb gel in my past few boxes and I am obsessed! I never used gel until I started marathon training and my grocery store only had select items. StrideBox gives me the chance to try different gels without having to pay full price and end up with something I didn’t like. Vanilla Orange seems like a weird mix but I’m hoping it tastes like an orange creamsicle!
Ultima Replenisher
It’s getting hot here in Texas and soon water alone will not cut it. That’s why I’m so glad to try out this electrolyte drink mix! Depending on how long my runs are, I’ll fill up my water bottle with some electrolytes to avoid cramping. Again, staying away from suguary drinks is best. Ultima comes in small packets that are easy to mix on the go!
NUUN – Vitamins
I am a HUGE fan of NUUN products. They’re helped me avoid cramps and stay hydrated in the middle of summer training. This is one of their new products and I’m definitely on board. How many of us take our daily vitamins? By adding vitamins to their products, it’s easy to get your nutrients and stay hydrated. Simply drop a tablet into your water bottle and you’re on your way!
Peanut Butter & Co.
Raise your hand if you can eat peanut butter by the spoonful! I received a packet of Dark Chocolate Dreams. I’m love dark chocolate peanut butter cups and this tastes just like that! I love reaching for some peanut butter after a run so I have a feeling this packet won’t last very long!
2Toms
Blister shields are where it’s at! If you have a weird stride or just can’t find the right socks like me, you’ll go to any lengths to stop blisters. These blister shields reduce heat build up and repel moisture. These puppies could have been so helpful during marathon training. I was left to covering my hot spots with tape to ward off the blisters. These blister shields are super comfy and I will definitely be order a pack!
Do you get excited for packages in the mail? Have you tried any of these goodies?
