Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix Review

[NOTE: As of January 2017, I have been selected to be a brand ambassador for Skratch Labs. This article was written in December 2016 and reflects my honest opinion and thoughts of the Exercise Hydration Mix product and Skratch Labs as a company.]

When it comes to finding the perfect drink mix for my long runs, I’m a creature of habit. I like to find something that works and stick to it. When I decided it was time to switch to a new product, a slight bout of anxiety ensued. I walked into my local running store and aimlessly wandered the nutrition aisle. An employee could quickly tell I needed help and came over to assist. I said I needed a new drink mix for long runs. He immediately pointed me into the direction of Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix and I haven’t looked back since.

How Time Away From Running Helped My Running

After fighting a bout of late season over training fatigue earlier this year, I found myself somewhat disinterested in running. I overcommitted myself to too many races in too short a time and came down with a serious case of FOMO. Both my finish times and overall enjoyment suffered tremendously.  After coming to the realization that I might need to take a break, I took some serious time away from running completely and hit the reset button.
