Enervit Pre Sport


You can probably guess I was a little sceptical about some of the Enervit products I received last week. Not only with regards to the taste, but how effective they were.

Well, I decided to try them out anyway.

Currently, every Tuesday and Thursday I see patients at Physio Solutions. I'll take a bus there and then run home. I brought 2 packets of the Enervit Pre Sport jelly with me to work yesterday. Ate a packet around 1230 pm. The cola taste didn't taste that great though.Was feeling fairly tired (maybe mentally more than physically) after I saw a full load of patients.

Surprise, surprise. Almost immediately after I started running I felt good. Much better actually than I felt when I ran home from work before. I've been running home from Physio Solutions for almost a year now.

I don't keep a training log anymore - not since I stopped racing anyway. But I do still remember the timings I usually take for my run home. Usually varies between 36-39 minutes. My run yesterday was my 2nd fastest since I'd been running home from May last year.

Now, I thought a lot about it before I decided to write this post. I do not want to be seen "promoting" Enervit products just because I got them free.

In my run home yesterday, I kept everything else consistent, running shoes, running attire, music etc. The only difference was I consumed a packet of Enervit Pre Sport about 4 hours before my run. I had a fairly decent run, timing was good and the run felt pretty effortless. Could it really be attributed to the Enervit Pre Sport?

Well, I'll have to try it again next week......

I'll also try the Enervitene Sport Competition gel on this Saturday's bike ride too.

Along Came Enervit .....

My stash from Enervit
What a nice and unexpected coincidence. Just when I wrote 2 weeks ago that I preferred real food options to gels, along came Enervit to give me some of their samples to try. Probably to prove me wrong about how they taste too.

Owned and made in Italy (the owner has a pharmaceutical background), Enervit is famous for its Sports supplements and nutrition.

I've got Enervit Pre Sport jelly, GT Sport tablets (energy tablet with vitamins), G Sport Competition (the name's funky, but it's for drinking during training/ racing and not what you think) and Enervitene Sport Competition gels (contains caffeine for use during training and competition). 

Hey, I don't race anymore. Well, I guess they'll come in handy on my weekly long rides then. Please look at Enervit's Facebook page for more information. 

Speaking of riding, I just got a brand new pair of Specialized S-Works road cycling shoe to try too. Nice, very nice.

A big thank you to Enervit and Specialized.
