Long Term Health

I’m nearly 50 miles into the Ardennes Megatrail, a 93k race in the Ardennes forest of France, near the Belgian border. Europe, AKA Salomons, spandex and hiking poles. It’s mid-afternoon, 10 hours into the race, and many runners are really struggling on this hot day in late June: walking, stopping, puking.

MUIR Energy makes use of Yerba Mate to give you the boost and mental alertness that you need to fuel your adventure!

I can honestly say that using Muir Energy is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my nutrition as an endurance athlete—no more burps, no more upset stomach, and no more of the bad kind of runs while out on the trails.

As a professional mountain guide, I have to take good care of my body: plenty of sleep, lots of exercise, and — as much as possible — real, nourishing foods. But as much as I value home-cooked meals, I’m often living out of a tent or a duffel bag. In the past twelve months, I’ve spent more than a hundred days in the mountains! It’s not easy to find portable, shelf-stable sources of energy that aren’t packed full of chemicals — and that’s why I’m such a fan of Muir Energy. The gel packets are easy to throw into my parka pocket or backpack. The ingredients are things I can pronounce. And my body feels so much better when I’m not eating neon-colored slime.
