Disclaimer: I dislike 99% of endurance gels on the market. The consistency makes me gag, the taste is unsettling, and they piss off my stomach. So when my friend Brian offered up a Science in Sport / SiS GO isotonic energy gel mid run, I politely took it and tucked it into my hydration pack for "later". Later meaning, probably never. Except a few runs later, I found myself in a Continue reading →
Epsom Salt Baths for Post Run Soreness: Does It Really Work?

As we climbed aboard the shuttle bus post workout, we were each handed a cold shaker bottle full of a protein smoothie.
