I don't know about you, but stress is a constant companion. It often brings its friend insomnia over the night before a race. I'd heard about adaptogen drinks being relaxing, and certainly, many of us know that magnesium can sometimes be helpful for stress. I used to wander down to Whole Foods to try to find adaptogen drinks to relax, and then I'd have to lug them home. While Recess does have pre-made drinks, the packets are great for travel. (Hotel rooms aren't the best for sleep, especially when you have to get up early for a race.)
I just did the Ventura Marathon (up at 3:45 am for a 4:20 shuttle drop-off) and I brought these with me. Considering that the hotel was not at all what we were promised -- it was one of the creepiest places I've ever stayed -- I was having a rough time sleeping. I remembered that I brought these to try. They were so yummy, and honestly, I dropped off to sleep in about 30 minutes. I ended up ordering a bunch of them when I got home. Heck, I'm drinking one right now because work is stressful as well.
