Review: August Stridebox

Ok, I might be a couple days late with this review but better late than never right? For all of you that follow my last couple of post, you know that I have a couple of Half- Marathons coming up in my training plan  for the BIG event in January The Dopey Challenge. Well having a StrideBox come to my door step every month has been great for my training. This months box came filled with items that I've wanted to try out for my longer runs. So what was in the box.....

The Info Card

HealthWarrior Chia Bar: Coconut ($23.50 for 15 bars or $1.67 a bar)

This bar is made with chia seeds, Omega-3's, protein and fiber

KindBar: Maple Glazed Pecan and Sea Salt ($1.99 a bar)

New Flavor-All natural bar, with 6g of fiber and 6g of protein

I wasn't a fan of either one of the flavors of theses products. The Coconut Chia Bar reminded me of eating bird seed and the Maple Glazed Pecan and Sea Salt KindBar was a little too salty for my taste.

2nd Surge: Double Espresso  ($15.92 for 8 gels or $1.99 each)

Provides rapid energy, reduces fatigue, and speeds reaction time

Island Boost: Passion Fruit Flavor ($10.00 for 3 pouches or $3.33 each)

Rapidly delivers the energy you need to perform and keep going strong

I defiantly felt a differences when using both of these energy gels however, the Passion Fruit Flavor of Island Boost was horrible  I had to follow it up with water just to get it down. The Double Espresso of 2nd Surge wasn't bad even thou I'm not a fan of coffee.

G Endurance Formula Thirst Quencher: Lemon Lime ($1.49 a package)

G Endurance Carb Energy Chews: Fruit Punch and Orange ($1.29 a package)

The G Endurance series by Gatorade was in my option the highlight of the whole box. Both of the Carb Chews flavors were great and they really work well with my body during my longer runs. With out a doubt I will be adding these products to my training.

Stridecool Post Run Cooling Towel ($9.99 a towel)

Overall I my I am once again pleasantly satisfied with in contents and the overall value of each item and I can't wait to the surprises in next month's box. Have you tried any of the items in this box? If so, tell me thought's.
