Energy Boost Before Your Workout


Last Updated:  
No matter if you're a runner or a bodybuilder, yoga lover, or cyclist. We are all facing the same problems once in a while when we feel tired too much of the time. We would like to have more energy.
No surprise there. With information overload, economic concerns, and the generally accelerating pace of life, many of us feel that our tanks are often low.

Boost your energy: pre-workout for runners

We can become sidetracked by bad habits such as poor nutrition, high stress, and inadequate sleep. It's absolutely necessary to come up with some strategies guaranteed to boost your energy. I am an early bird. You'll find the strongest version of Runningbrina very early in the morning.
For me, the morning is my favorite time to sweat it out. There are times though when I either can't work out in the morning because of work, or I have to train twice that day which makes it unavoidable for me to work out at night.
After a long day at work and a hard workout in the morning, it's time for an extra energy boost.
Thanks to my male gym buddies I came across some super weird-tasting energy boosters and pre-workout shakes for runners. If that stuff works?
Well, they made me sleepless at night, gave me heartburn, or just tasted like chemical juice. Short: Not my thing. This stuff might work for some people but for me, it's not the right thing to do when I need energy before my workout or my run.

Are you looking for a healthy pre-workout for runners?

Since I don't drink coffee (I know some people get their energy through a double shot of espresso for example) I was desperately looking for something that was healthy but still give me results in terms of energy boosts when I needed them. Trust me guys: it's hard to find something like that.

Thanks to Harrison from Rootz Nutrition I have found the best tasting, healthiest, and most importantly, most effective pre-workout nutritional supplements. Short: the best pre-workout for runners.
