Prove It - Reduce Fatigue & Feel Light on Your Feet

Training is king.

To be the athlete you want to be, the training is what matters. We must design a training plan, and execute it. It's the priority - always has been, and always will be.

Proper fueling, then, is what supports the training. And the right nutrition can make all the difference.

Long Run's new Ready to Run promotes the following benefits: Reduce Training Fatigue, Feel Light on Your Feet, and Strong Energy for Improved Endurance.

Prove it you say? Let's talk about the science of the ingredients. 

Reduce Training Fatigue

Training fatigue can derail your performance (and certainly tank your motivation to continue training). To fight this, we're using coconut water, which is rich in potassium and sodium—key electrolytes crucial for hydration and muscle function.

Potassium helps maintain fluid balance in the body and regulates muscle contractions, preventing cramping and fatigue.

Sodium works to retain fluids, keeping you hydrated during long training sessions. This balance is essential, especially during intense workouts where you lose electrolytes through sweat.

Magnesium is known for its role in energy production and muscle recovery. Magnesium supports various biochemical reactions in the body, contributing to reduced fatigue.

These ingredients facilitate ATP production (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of our cells. By supporting muscle function, it helps prevent cramps and enhances overall recovery, allowing you to bounce back faster from demanding sessions.

Feel Light on Your Feet

How you feel during your runs can make or break your training. So we need to fight the "heavy legs" athletes know all too well. We leverage the energizing effects of organic Mexican arabica coffee. Caffeine is not just a pick-me-up; it has specific benefits for runners:

• Caffeine increases the release of adrenaline, which boosts your energy levels and enhances your ability to push through challenging workouts.
• It improves reaction time and agility, allowing you to feel lighter and more responsive on your feet.
• The inclusion of coconut water also plays a role here. Proper hydration is essential for joint lubrication and running comfort.

Natural caffeine + electrolytes ensures your joints are better supported, which helps in reducing the sense of heaviness during a run.

Strong Energy for Improved Endurance

Runners are always using both carbohydrate and intramuscular fat for fuel. All runners are different, but this a general truth.

The ratio of fat versus carbohydrate utilization can change based on a variety of factors, including training intensity, fitness level, session duration, and recent dietary intake.

Caffeine has been shown to enhance fat oxidation during prolonged exercise. This is important because:

1. Increased Energy Availability: By utilizing more fat stores, you can preserve carbohydrate energy, allowing you to sustain energy levels for longer periods.
2. Delayed Fatigue: Enhanced fat utilization enables your muscles to work efficiently over extended periods, helping to delay the onset of fatigue.
3. Consistent Energy Supply: This leads to a more stable energy supply, which helps you maintain your pace without experiencing a crash mid-workout.

Science! Plus caffeine is generally accepted as having energizing effects, which of course, help us feel stronger and hyped up for running.
