Endorphin Warrior Bracelet Review & GIVEAWAY

201 Comments
Of all the goodies we got at Hood To Coast my Endorphin Warrior bracelet was among my favorite.
This simple leather and nickel plated bracelet can be worn while you are working it. The more you sweat, the better. I have barely taken mine off since I raced and it still looks as good as the day I put it on.

I am a huge believer in the MIND. What do I mean by this? I think our mind serves to help us or to hurt us. It can help us run father or it can be a road block in the way. It can tell you YOU can do this or it can make you doubt your abilities and tell you to stop. It is your choice how you choose to control your mind. What the mind believes the body does.
Part of my mind keeps telling me, there is no way it is ever possible to run a 3:10 marathon. It is not humanly possible to go from a 4:20 to a 3:10 in one life time. The other part of my mind tells me that I have done the hard work, I hit the training and racing paces, and that the only thing stopping me from getting a 3:10 in the near future is the other voice in my head.
This is where the bracelet has helped me. I have two of them. BELIEVE and STRENGTH. On days I am feeling particularly weak I take off my believe and put on strength. No the bracelet does not have magic powers, but I’d venture to say the mind sort of does. I look down at this word while running and remember that I am strong. I have strength. My strength comes from an eternal well that does not run dry.

On days I am excited to run I switch out strength for believe. I need to believe in my training. I need to believe in myself. I need believe that the plan set out for my life is the perfect one whether or not I achieve a 3:10.

I honestly thought the bracelet was cute and knew I was going to wear it as soon as I got it. I never thought that it would actually help me.

I know many of you can relate to the mind-empty that seems to happen when you are very exhausted at the end of a longer run. It’s hard to even form sentences at times. Your body is using all its energy to put one foot in front of the other. I can not remember verses or quotes I’ve memorized. It’s as if everything leaves my mind and my whole body is focused on getting to the finish line, real or literal. When I feel this way I look down at the ONE word I need in that moment. BELIEVE. STRENGTH.
If you would like to buy an Endorphin Warrior Bracelet they are only $20. There are many products I test out, like, but am not sure I would really spend the money on. I would and will buy more of these for myself and my friends!
