ImageThe Running Griffin would like to welcome our newest sponsor ENERGYbits!

Want more energy, more mental vitality, or a healthy high protein snack you can grab on the go? How about a quick way to boost your athletic performance, supercharge your run or crank up your endurance while working or working out? If so, ENERGYbits® are for you. Made from 100% organicallly grown spirulina algae and loaded with 40 nutrients, ENERGYbits® algae tabs have the highest concentration of protein in the world (64%) all for just one calorie per tab.

I took the ENERGYbits before a 5K race this past weekend and was impressed with the results. The bits are recommended to be taken by the handful and to swallow them whole and indeed this was a good recommendation. The taste is definitely an acquired taste but there was no notable aftertaste while running which was nice. The benefit of the bits is that it did not leave any jittery effects that other energy products often can leave you with and the workout experience seemed to be positively impacted by the bits.

The Running Griffin is pleased to offer our readers a 10% discount thanks to ENERGYbits when our readers shop on their website. You can purchase ENERGYbits by clicking here and using the coupon code BLOG at checkout.

Feetures!

ImagePlease join us in welcoming Feetures! as the newest sponsor of The Running Griffin.

Feetures! believes in a healthy, active lifestyle. Their mission is to support runners and other athletes in their pursuit of healthy, active lifestyles. They are focused on offering socks that are designed to help you achieve your personal best.

ImageI have been running with the Feetures! Elite Light Cushion No Show Tab in the Electric Green & Silver style and have absolutely loved these new socks. The socks are a perfect mix of both comfort and performance and the ability of these socks to wick moisture is second to none. I have used the socks both for long runs and short races and have been impressed with the functionality of these socks. We often times focus so much on ensuring that the right sneakers are on our feet that we might forget about the importance of having good socks, as well. Well, thanks to Feetures!, making the decision in terms of what socks to use in the future has gotten a little bit easier.
