After recently striking a deal with another chain store, Bristol Farms marks the next progression for the brand, which is shaking up the sports drink market with its emphasis on natural ingredients and its unique…

I was fortunate enough last week to receive a package of Invigorade in the mail to test it out and see if my performance and recovery would increase with trail use. The first event that I had lined up was actually a half-marathon. I figured what better way to test out this endurance drink than to test it against an endurance event. 

The event was the Heavenly Half. I drank one bottle of the Invigorade Coconut before the event and had a cup of water and a cup of hot coffee. The temperature was pretty darn cold up in the hills. There was snow on the ground still. I normally do not eat anything before a race and if I do it is usually a banana. I took the Invigorade Orange Mango with me on my half-marathon journey. 

I didn't feel thirsty till after 4 miles and that is when I opened up the bottle. I took a small sip out of it and kept going. I would stop at water stations to get a sip of water but it was rare. I finished the bottle by mile 11. 

Now the cool part is that I have done many half marathons before and usually about mile 7-8 I hit a wall and I end up doing the part walk part run thing. This time was different. I didn't feel any lack of energy nor did I hit a wall until mile 12 and I shook myself out of it. I was able to keep a steady pace at the beginning of 10:40 a mile and after mile 6 I was keeping 9:30 and even 9:06 miles. Now this was a lot of downhill movement but I was able to keep pace during the uphills as well. I was able to complete the whole half running the whole way!
