run-a-versary & blog-a-versary extravaganza: my favorite fuels

February 25, 2014      40 Comments

Happy Tuesday! Time for Day 2 of our giveaways!

Running isn’t about putting one foot in front of the other as quickly as possible. There are so many other things to consider: shoes, socks, music, and on and on.

And of course, every runner is incredibly unique. What works for one may not work for all, and finding the right combination can be both time-consuming and expensive.

Today’s goodies include a selection of my current favorite fuels.

You’ll get everything in the picture, including that great magnet, plus a few additional treats. These are all items I use religiously for training, before and during races, and for recovery. They are things that, in my opinion, taste good, agree with my sometimes-finicky tummy, and give me the extra energy I need to go the distance.

So go ahead and enter to win this great box of yummy running fuel! Giveaway ends on March 1, 2014 at midnight EST, and I’ll use random.org to pick a winner!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

And don’t forget – if you want to run in the new Flavor Run in Nocatee on April 5, you have until March 1 to enter to win two entries!

    I love Gu, but I’d like to try more of the stinger line. The last gel I had from them was delicious– I like that they’re pretty thin so you don’t need to chug water to get them down. Although I love Gu because they are like eating frosting, so it’s all about the distance and available water, I guess. 😉
