Re: energy drinks

I haven't ever tried them.
I figure if I can't pronounce one or more of the ingredients, I don't want to be ingesting it...lol

Re: energy drinks

I drink the Speedo Sportswaters on my long trail runs. They are good!! I get them at Big Lots for 48 cents a bottle. They replace the electrolytes and really do keep me energized. Sweetened with Splenda and perfect for us lc'ers!

Re: energy drinks

I sometimes drink the Red Bull sugar free stuff. Huge effect at first but with continued use you really become immune to it. Expensive too! Cheapest place I've found is Sams club, still $33 a case! I really dont mind the taste too much like some people complain about. I don't like aspertame either so all those things combines really keeps me from drinking it much at all. Wish someone would make something with Splenda, I'd probably use it a little more often if that were the case.

LOL i just tried s/f red bull for the first time recently (it's new up here). i had one can and a large coffee while driving up to teh cottage at night to keep me alert. Alert? i got up there at 11:00 p.m. and didn't go to bed till 4:30! i was bouncing off the walls..so in other words, i don't recommend chasing a can of red bull with a full caff coffee

I don't think we have any s/f sports drinks here, just red bull and similar, and some new Mountain Dew Energy sugar free pop that is packed with caffeine.

Re: energy drinks

I don't Buy any of that stuff I buy Celtic Sea salt it has a ton of minerals in it perfect for replacing electolites. Just use your regular water put 2 pinches of the salt in there you have a cheap energy drink. Really all you are buying them for is the minerals and stuff cause they have no sugar in them. Since I have been doing this I have noticed a huge improvement in my runs and also in my energy.

Re: energy drinks

I'd stay away from most of those drink simply because of the caffiene content. Most have 2-3 times more than a can of coffee...not to mention taurine.

Its like those people who drink redbulls and vodkas and have heartattacks...DUH!

Re: energy drinks

I got a good one from Big Lots last night .. No carbs, no sugar, no caffeine, no calories. Its called ChampionLyte. It came in a 20 oz bottle for 59 cents. Couldn't pass it up. I had the Lemon Lime one today on my 9 miler in the HEAT. I couldn't have made it without it!!
