Tips, Tricks, and Recos

Juice Plus+

- JP+ is simply organic, fully ripened fruits and vegetables that are dried, powdered and placed

in capsules and gummies. We use these everyday and definitely notice when we don't. They

also have some amazing vegan Omegas. Ask Coach Janelle for more information.

EndurElite

- We use their PerformElite before races and their SustainElite during races. They also have a

RecoverElite that works very well. You can't go wrong here. They have caffeine and caffeine

free options and their CEO puts out very informative content.

Tailwind

- We also use Tailwind. It's great to support a local company and it tastes fantastic. We like to

mix it with our SustainElite for long runs. You can find it online or at most local stores.

Vega Protein

- We've switched (back) to Vega protein. They often have good sales so make sure you sign up

for the free member program.

e-Gels = Race Fuel

- e-Gels are the best gel out there, we've eaten hundreds, literally. They are our go to for

anything over 10 miles including the Ultra races. They are bigger than others and have more

calories. They also have a lot less sugar and taste good. And they don't mess with my stomach.

CBD Oil/Salve

- A definite must have in our house. While we were originally against it, we've come to love the

products.

- Oil and Salve - we use Arcanum.

- Salve - we use Nordic Goddess.

Honey Stinger

- Honey Stinger is a local company who provides honey based products including honey,

waffles, and energy bars.

Other stuff we tend to take: Beta Alanine, Beet Powder, Creatine.

Disclaimer: As with most things, you have to find what works for you. We are not Doctors or Medical Professionals just a couple of people listing some of the things that we love.

Stuff you drink/eat/rub-on:

Shoes

- Altra all the way! We love the foot shaped toe box. It's amazing what happens to your form and

running when you let your feet take their natural shape. And remember, you must have a solid inch of space

between your toe and the edge of the shoe. Your toes should not touch the front of the

shoe when running downhill. You do not need to have black toe nails. We have tried just about every

style and wear them exclusively.

Compression Pants

- We love our 2XU MCS (muscle compression system) pants and shorts.

Sandbags

- We are ambassadors for Brute Force because they are an amazing local company. Their products are

top of the line and come with a fantastic warranty policy. Ask us for a 15% discount code.

- You can also try out Cerus Fitness sandbags. They too are local and they put on an amazing race. See

below.

Running Packs

- OrangeMud packs are amazing! We use their Endurance Pack 2.0 all the time when we need a

bladder of water. When just a small flask of water is needed and/or a pocket for your cell phone,

they have an OCR pack that works fantastically.

Exercise Equipment

- The gym is full of Rep Fitness equipment. They are local and their equipment is a great value. You

can also look to Simpson Fitness Supply in Arvada.

OCR Equipment

- Check out Force5 Equipment. They are a leader in OCR obstacles.

- There are also a lot of small companies. Let us know what you are interested in and we can help you

out.

Gloves

BleggMitts are amazing if you've always got cold hands. They are neoprene mittens that can be

folded back to allow you to use your full hand for obstacles. You can get them through the

Team Strength and Speed website.

Stuff you wear/train with:

Races

There are so many races across the country (and globally) that you can participate in. This list is by no means exhaustive but will give you a great place to start.
