How To Carry Food And Water With You On Your Runs: 6 Ways That Work
Whenever I first started running more than a couple miles at a time, the question of “how do I carry food and water with me?” really boggled my mind. I no longer had the luxury of a cycling jersey with pockets in the back, a backpack would be way too big, and I sure didn’t want to carry water bottles in my hands! But I didn’t want to die of dehydration, either…
Tested: Accelerade Sports Drink with Protein
I’ve always liked the idea behind Accelerade. It’s a sports drink, so it’s high in carbs for energy and packed with electrolytes we need, but it has something special - a little protein. Sports drinks with both carbohydrates and protein have been shown to improve performance, so let’s check this out…
Tested: FitConnect.com Fitness Community
I’ll admit, I’ve hopped on the social networking bandwagon. I’ve been on Myspace and Facebook for years. But after a few days, tons of spam messages and software glitches, and a lot of idiots, the whole thing gets old. But could a social network for fitness enthusiasts change all that?
Cyclo-Club Platinum Membership Closes Tonight!

Tested: Kashi GO LEAN High Protein & Fiber Bar
Kashi’s GO LEAN line of products seems to be never-ending. The latest addition to my Kashi shelf has been this Kashi Chewy Bar, also labeled a High Protein & Fiber Bar. I like my protein and fiber, although that’s not really why I was excited about this bar; it was the cookies ‘n cream flavor that did it for me! Hopefully it tastes as good as Oreos!
Tested: SoLo Energy Bar
The SoLo energy bar is yet another energy bar to stock the shelves in the growing sports nutrition aisle - but it has a few key improvements in its formulation that could see it come out on top. Read my review to learn more about this low-glycemic energy bar that tastes great…
Tested: iQ H2O (Flavored Water)
In the sea of lesser-known flavored waters, a company needs a good hook to get me to buy. Or, I could just happen to find large cases of them on clearance sale, prompting me to buy. That was the case with iQ H2O, a flavored water with added vitamins.
Tested: Honest Tea Pomegranate White Tea With Acai
Honest Tea doesn’t really stand out on the convenience store shelves, which are cluttered with jumbo-size Rockstar and Monster energy drinks, plus a few juice drinks in bright, colorful bottles that are more sugar than anything else. But Honest Tea does stand out once you compare ingredients. It is one of the few drinks out there that has health benefits and contains a minimal amount of sugar.
