May Stridebox

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz on Twitter from my fellow bloggers about a product called Stridebox.  After seeing some of the goodies they were receiving, I took the plunge and signed up for a subscription.

There are tons of different monthly “box” subscriptions out there, but this one really appealed to me because it is geared towards runners, and it’s things that I would actually use before, during, or after my run.

Curious as to how it works?  You subscribe for $15 a month, no contracts, you can take a break or stop it at anytime.  Stridebox works with great brands for great products that runners use.  Then, it arrives at your doorstep, ready for you to dig in and check out!

May was my first month, and it did not disappoint!

LOVE that it’s like Christmas once a month!

When you open the box, there’s a list of the products, descriptions, and their retail price.

And now…for the goodies I got!!

I have tried the Sports Beans and Honey Stingers before, but not these flavors, so I’m looking forward to using them soon! I’ve heard about VFuel before but never tried it.  Not too sure about the chocolate flavor but I’ll give it a try.

I have never tried protein powder before, so I’m interested to see whether or not I will like the Perfect Fit protein powder.  If anyone has any recommendations of how to use it, please let me know!

When I was at REI a couple of weekends ago picking up some Island Boost to try out, I saw the Bonk Breakers and almost bought one.  Can’t wait to try this on one of my long runs!  I’ve never heard of Just Great Stuff but i love chocolate and acai so I’m looking forward to tasting it

Luckily I haven’t gotten any blisters yet, but I will definitely stow these Blister Protectors away in the event I feel like my shoes are causing some to start forming!  I’m excited about the Bottle Bright.  It’s always such a pain to clean my water bottle out, and this should make it much easier.

The final item in my Stridebox was very cool!  It’s called a Klitch, and it holds your shoes for you and has a clip so that you don’t have to put them in your gym bag and stink it up!  I’m looking at getting the hubster one for his paintball shoes as well.

Overall, I was very impressed with Stridebox, and I’m already looking forward to getting next month’s!

Have you tried one of the monthly box subscriptions?  Which one and what did you think?

Until next time,

  1. I'm curious how the Klitch works. I definitely know what you mean about paintball shoes! My husband's shoes stay in a box with all his other gear. :)

    1. Nice to see someone else's husband plays paintball! My Klitch broke after 3 uses but Stridebox sent me another one...that's some great customer service!

  2. Protein powder - my favorite is a scoop of powder (I like chocolate), half a banana, 4-6 oz. of plain almond milk, and a couple ice cubes for a yummy post-workout smoothie. I also put protein powder in my morning oatmeal for some extra morning protein to keep me full.

    1. Aside from the banana (I'm not a fan) that sounds pretty tasty! I'll have to give it a try :)
