There’s No Better Time Than Now

It’s a little past 7pm and it’s dark outside, not to mention it’s pretty darn cold, too. As much as we hate to think about it, winter is right around the corner. For most of us in the northern states, the cycling and triathlon season has come to an end. A few of us take some time off to heal up and rest. Others take their training indoors to the gym and pool. A couple in the hardcore crowd run outside all winter and seem to enjoy the freezing air hitting their lungs. No matter what crowd you fall into, it’s nice to take it easy for a bit and give the old bones a little break.

We often get asked the same question: “I already have a supplement plan that I like, so why should I try Push Recovery?” We realize that many triathletes and cyclists have experimented with various supplements and arrived at a plan that works for them, but there’s always room for improvement, in my opinion. Science brings new research, new ingredients or new products that haven’t been available before or improve on what’s already out there. Either way, don’t you agree it’s worth your time to see if a supplement you haven’t tried before can make you or your training better?

Push Recovery is a versatile supplement that will optimize many supplement plans. Athletes can use Push before training to boost focus and energy, during training to keep muscles strong and endurance high, and after training to speed recovery. Many athletes now use Push exclusively because it performs many functions so well, while others have found a spot for it in their current plans to make the overall plan better.

Since winter is near and competitions are over for some of us, now is the perfect time to give Push a try if you plan to train in some way, shape or form as the snow falls. And with our money-back guarantee on your purchase price if you don’t notice better performance or faster recovery, you really have nothing to lose. The odds are extremely good you’ll emerge from the doldrums of winter with a new weapon in your supplement arsenal come spring.

If you have any questions about Push or would like to try it at a discounted price just to see what Push can do for you, please email Kevin@pushendurance.com for more information.

For some of our athletes, Keep Pushin’
And for the rest of you, Start Pushin’

Push Endurance #giveaway starting 10/17/11

Push Endurance has teamed with Man Vs Triathlon to bring you a GREAT giveaway!



Here's a little about Push Endurance.
  • At Push Endurance, we’re all about performance, specifically, muscle performance. Strong muscles work harder, go further and last longer, powering every step, rep or push of the pedal. Overuse and poor recovery between training sessions weaken muscles. When this happens, performance suffers and injuries occur. You don’t achieve the results you’ve trained so hard for.
  • Introducing Push Recovery - one of the best workout recovery drinks in the market. Designed to increase muscle endurance during exercise and decrease muscle recovery time after exercise, Push Recovery allows athletes to train more often to help them reach their athletic goals sooner. Make each training session more effective and your next competition your personal best with Push Recovery!
  • To read more about the science behind Push Endurance, read more HERE.
Cross Bike Review reviews Push Endurance!
  • "For myself the number of bottles of supplements I have on my counter just got a whole lot smaller they are being replaced with PUSH RECOVERY. Get PUSHED into something better!"
See the full review HERE.

Ryan Falkenrath reviews Push Endurance!
  • "Personally, when I take in nutrition via fluid of solids, my system can be picky. I didn't have to "push" Push down to keep it down. It delivers nutrition as advertised and is a quality addition to the endurance supplement market."
See the full review HERE.

Now that you are up to speed with Push Endurance, here's how you can get your hands on some, FOR FREE!

There will be something given away EACH of the next 5 DAYS!

Athlete Bio - Ryan Falkenrath

Every day, more and more triathletes, cyclists and marathon runners are discovering how effective Push Recovery is to their endurance training. From increasing energy, focus and performance during exercise to drastically reducing muscle recovery time after exercise, there’s no other supplement on the market today quite like Push. So who are these athletes? Let’s introduce one of them right here:

Name?
Ryan Falkenrath


 
Age?
34

Number of years competing?
8

Athletic goals?
Complete a full Ironman Distance event.  Doesn't have to be a branded Ironman event.

Notable events completed? 
Dublin Marathon
Kansas Ironman 70.3 x2
Boulder Ironman 70.3
Kansas City North Face Marathon
Kansas City Marathon

Any future events coming up? 
Kansas City Marathon for 2011 is last on 2011 schedule.

Best competition experience? 
Ironman Kansas 70.3 in 2011 was my best experience.  I love the challenge of the long distance.  It happened to be my best HIM time, but I felt good in all legs of the event and when I finished, it was fun!  I wasn't light headed, I didn't cramp, I raced smart and within myself.  Perfect storm of all aspects coming together.

Worst competition experience? 
IM Boulder 70.3 in 2011.  Following a good feeling from IM KS, I raced Boulder and it was a different race.  My swim and bike was better, but I had GI distress and cramping the last 7 miles.  It was wretched not being able to run it out.  Just felt like crap due to trying to cram too much in my stomach too late.

If you’re not training or competing, we’ll find you doing what? 
Working or chasing my kids around.  That pretty much takes all my time.

Best piece of training advice you’ve received? 
Race your race.  Don't try and chase someone down after they pass you.  Have fun.  Don't bonk.

Do you have any blogs or websites we can follow you on? 
I dabble in many medias...

project - www.Man-Versus-Triathlon.com


How do you incorporate Push Recovery into your training? 
I mix it with water and some other supplements to get a little more electrolytes since I sweat like a pig.  I also am avoiding GU's and Gels in general so I need all my nutrition from my drinks.

How has your Push Recovery affected or improved your training? 
It's been nice to get a supplement in liquid form.  I used others in the past, and right now I use Push in combination.  But, with Push I can avoid solids since I have had severe GI issues in 2011 and just don't work well with solids.  I get the calories I need and the protein my body needs to go long.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Time goes by in a blink when you’re busy, doesn’t it? We had such grand plans for this summer but, after looking back and taking stock of what we’ve accomplished, we realized our “to-do” list still has a lot of “to doing” to get done. Suddenly, the darkness creeping outside our window at 7:30 p.m. is an unsettling reminder that we’ve less time to get outside and do what we wanted. Another summer is in the books.

But, just because summer flew by doesn’t mean Team Push sat on our hands for the past few months. Since starting Push Endurance last spring, we’ve been working hard to increase awareness of Push Recovery, our endurance and recovery supplement. Along the way, we’ve worked with and partnered with some very amazing people, including:

Joel Aziere and TriWisconsin Triathlon Team
Troy Stram and the Penn State Triathlon Team
Tracey Cohen at Half2Run
Mike Donovan and the Hendersonville HEAT
Nicole Capella and the Virginia Tech Triathlon Club
Coach Greg Moriates and Xtreme Multisports
Alecia Holzworth and Bridal Party Bootcamp here in Madison
Michael McCrary and the rest of the University of Iowa University of Iowa Trihawks
David Kina and the University of Buffalo Triathlon Team and Cycling Team
Sergio Angeles and the Richmond Cycling Team
Scott Mares and Scott Hackett of Cross Bike Review
Colleen Feriod and the Yale Triathlon Team
Brandon Walter Heimer and the MIT Triathlon Club

We were also proud to be a part of this year’s Bike and Build cross country bike ride to raise money for affordable housing, and the St. Jude’s Relay Run from Memphis to Peoria, Il. A special congrats to Zach Schmidt and Brad Busing, respectively, for doing their part to do some good for those who need it most.

Since mid June, we’ve been working with triathlete Ryan Falkenrath, a product tester for Everymantri.com and blogger for Examiner.com and his personal blog, “I Tri Because I can.” Ryan used Push Recovery in his training for the Ironman Boulder on Aug. 7th, and continued to use Push Recovery for his Jackson County Triathlon and Wakarusa Off-Road Challenge. Check out his review of Push Recovery here.





We also had two members of Team Push compete in this year’s Ragnar Relay Series from Winona to Minneapolis, MN on August 19-20. Congrats to Nick and Niki for getting it done!

So what else have we been up to?

Plenty.

Expect more product reviews and partnership announcements in the near future. Check out this blog for weekly articles and athlete bios, featuring athletes who are discovering just how beneficial Push Recovery is to their training and competitions.

Until next time,
Keep Pushin’

Push Endurance Q&A: Session #02

Push Endurance Q&A: Session #02

There are a ton of endurance and recovery supplements to choose from. Go to your local GNC or visit any online store and you’ll be overwhelmed with options. The decision on which product to try can be confusing. You want a supplement that can improve your training, but you don’t want to spend a small fortune experimenting until you find the one that’s best for you.

Any time an athlete has a question about our company or our supplement, Push Recovery, we’re always glad to help them out. From finding a dosing plan for best results or for more general questions about our ingredients, please feel free to drop us an email at kevin@pushendurance.com.

Here’s a question we recently received:

Q: Is Push Recovery vegan? Also, is it gluten free?

A: Push Recovery is vegan. Our formula consists of free-form essential amino acids, antioxidants, carbohydrates and performance boosters like creatine monohydrate, beta alanine and citrulline malate. None of our ingredients are obtained from animal sources. The two ingredients that can be obtained from animal sources in the manufacturing of some supplements — astaxanthin and amino acids — are produced synthetically in a laboratory and then included in our formula. Vegan athletes can enjoy Push Recovery without concern.

Push Recovery is also gluten free. Gluten is a protein commonly found in rye, wheat and barley, and can cause a variety of gastrointestinal concerns for some people. None of our ingredients contain gluten, so athletes sensitive to gluten can use Push Recovery without issue.

Athlete Bio - Nick Morris

Every day, more and more triathletes, cyclists and marathon runners are discovering how effective Push Recovery is to their endurance training. From increasing energy, focus and performance during exercise to drastically reducing muscle recovery time after exercise, there’s no other supplement on the market today quite like Push. So who are these athletes? Let’s introduce one of them right here:

Name?
Nick Morris



Age?
30

Number of years competing?
7

Athletic goals?
Qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon

Notable events completed? 
Twin Cities Marathon, Chicago Marathon (twice), Ragnar Great River Relay

Any future events coming up? 
Steamtown Marathon, Scranton, PA (October 9, 2011)

Why marathon running over other sports? 
I do play other sports like softball and volleyball, but marathoning is really my chance to be on my own and just get away from everything.

Best competition experience? 
I think that the best competition experience that I have had to date is finishing that first marathon.  It just gives you a great sense of accomplishment.  Like you can take on the world.

Worst competition experience? 
Getting injured at the 2010 Chicago Marathon.  It was very disappointing, because I had put in a great training cycle and to have an injury occur to prevent me from reaching my goals is kind of disheartening.

If you’re not training or competing, we’ll find you doing what? 
I like to stay active, so you will find me at the gym or playing recreational sports like softball, volleyball, or bowling.

Best piece of training advice you’ve received? 
Do not try to do too much, too fast.  Train within your means.  It is the best way to stay healthy.  You can’t make it to race day if you overdo it and cause an injury.

Do you have any blogs or websites we can follow you on? 
I have a running blog at http://i-team.forumotion.com, entitled “This is the year…continued”

How do you incorporate Push Recovery into your training? 
I use Push Recovery after every workout.

How has your Push Recovery affected or improved your training? 
Push Recovery has really helped my muscles recover faster.  I have found that I have less muscle soreness and am able to get back out there much faster.
