SportLegs - More Raves

What our customers report about using SportLegs for triathlon and running...

Sports Legs tame lactic acid and leg burn. One hour before my 20 mile run earlier today, I took 3 sportlegs capsules (as mentioned in the directions At the two hour mark of my run, I took three more (again, as stated in the directions). I am not sure if it is in my head or what, but I have no soreness in my legs at all. I was even able to throw in some sprints the last two miles. I am a little bit fatigued but wow - no muscle pain. I could probably go out and do a few more miles right now. My quads and calves usually ache after a 20 miler. It almost feels like I am cheating by taking these things. This isn't considered doping right? LOL. JK. I will give them a try at the Napa Valley Marathon in a couple of weeks and see what happens. - "jbone66, Web Site Wrangler, Brentwood," www.delta-athletes.com forum

I can't thank you enough for making such an AWESOME product. I am a 41 year old female long distance runner, training for my first marathon. I happened across an ad for SportLegs while reading a copy of Men's Journal. Normally, I'm not one for trying products that are "gimicky". Because to be honest, usually if it sounds too good to be true...it usually is. However, because I literally dread "the burn" the day or two after my really hard training sessions, after reading that any athlete can benefit from it without the burn, I decided to at least give it a try.

Was I ever surprised to find out for myself that SportLegs really does live up to what it says!

The very first day that I tried it, I wanted to really put it to the test. So, I went out and ran (sprinted, compared to my normal pace), five miles in less than 31 minutes... WITHOUT ANY PAIN OR BURN!!! I couldn't believe that I didn't hurt while running or even the days that followed. Every workout that I have had since using SportLegs has improved with my tolerance for speed, distance, endurance, and/or strength.

SportLegs is the best product available for athletes that want to train at their highest possible level...WITHOUT THE BURN!!

Thank You!!! I can't wait until my next workout!!

I bought some of your stuff recently.

This past weekend was the Boston Marathon, at the Convention Center they were giving out Sportlegs. I tried two packages and can say that I definitely feel a difference. My next question is: Can you tell me where I can buy your product other than over the Net? -MaryJo Youngs, Deerfield, New Hampshire

I'd heard about SportLegs, and I expected to feel a difference when I took them before a hard training ride. But I didn't expect SUCH a difference. As usual, I rode until I was exhausted, but my legs didn't "burn" like usual. Not just less burn, ZERO burn. It was almost spooky. My wife, who's a triathlete too, figures SportLegs are essentially a healthy, natural pain reliever for muscles. But I figure they're more than that. They're a performance enhancer. Winning is part psychological. If I don't feel any "burn", I figure I've got more energy left in the tank. So I'll go harder. And sometimes, that's all it takes to win. -Bob Zajac, Akron, Ohio

I love your product! I learned about Sportlegs from a racing cyclist friend whom I respect a great deal. I began using Sportlegs at that time as a cyclist, then later as a new triathlete competing in Olympic and long course (Half Iron) triathlons just a couple of years ago. When I use Sportlegs I don’t get leg cramps or that “lactate-build-up-feeling”. I was honored to qualify for Age Group Long Course Nationals 2009, and I attribute that, in part, to my ability to compete for hours at a time without leg pain or cramping. I also sometimes use Sportlegs post workouts in lieu of an anti-inflammatory. I can’t imagine training or racing without Sportlegs. Thank you so much! -Sharon Adduci Barrows, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, President, Aging Athlete - www.agingathlete.com

I really love SportLegs for running. I run 3 miles a day in the heat of Key West. Without SportLegs, my legs feel like they’re made out of lead. –Ann Marie Young, 53, Key West, Florida

My best running partner and I gave SportLegs a test this past weekend, a nice little 3 hour jaunt through the mountains outside of Boulder. Good test for them, since I hadn't been in the hills for a few weeks and the quads tend to take a beating when they get back out there. I not only had less quad burn during the run, but also noticeably less quad soreness the next day. That's the real "telling" and "selling" point for me. -Peter Downing, Denver, Colorado

I did really well at the Louisiana Tinman in Shreveport and ended up 2nd over all ladies. This may sound wierd but I really notice SportLegs the most when I swim!!! I was the third body out of the water, only two guys were slightly ahead of me. -Sharon Sander, 41, U. S. Olympic Triathlete, San Antonio, Texas

Olympic-distance triathlete shaves 10 minutes from Personal Record.
This weekend at the Memphis in May Triathlon I decided to try Sportslegs in a blind test. My training has been dead on and I was primed for a good race. I decided to include Sportslegs in my assault on the 2:15 Olympic Distance race. My previous best was a 2:24. Memphis is known as a fast course. I train for Iron distance racing as a focus so the Oly distance isn't really my game but WOW what a day.
After a mediocre swim for me, I absolutely flew on the bike. I went 1:00:53 for the 40k and much to my surprise I ran a sub 45min 10k. My legs have NEVER felt better. My overall time was 2:14:43 good enough for 14th out of 104 in my Age Group. That is a 10 minute PR in an fairly stacked field.
Since this is my first test with SL I will have to give it a thumbs up. I can not wait to race in 2 weeks on a course I have done previously. -Kurt Egli, Enid, Oklahoma on FeedForSpeed.com

On the mountain (and in the pool and on the trail) muscle burn and your basic, run-of-the-mill post-exercise muscle soreness are always there. Once they were presumed untreatable, but not any more! A biking buddy of mine turned me on to SportLegs. I have no idea what class of drug or supplement it is but it works great. I checked it out before I tried it. According to a friend of mine in the Pharmaceutical industry, the ingredients are completely innocuous and the premise is sound. The beauty of it is that it’s preventative, not reactive. I feel better during and, equally important, the soreness after is much less or none. One less thing to worry about and one more lost excuse for staying home and watching TV. -Bob Israel, Yardley, Pennsylvania

I run 5-7 miles per day, 4-5 days a week. SportLegs feels like it’s turned back the calendar for me by ten or fifteen years. I’m just over 150 lbs.; when I take 3, I don’t encounter the “burn” halfway through my run like I normally do. And when I take even 1 or 2 afterwards, it prevents any “burn” afterwards for hours. -John Sugros, 62, Willington, Connecticut

I'm a 21-year-old sports physiology major at the University of Washington. After I got some SportLegs samples at a NORBA race in Idaho, I asked my professors about them. After some research, my professors are unanimous the idea behind SportLegs is ingenious, and we can’t understand why somebody didn’t try this sooner. I'm using SportLegs for USAT National triathlons. Their biggest effect has been improving my swim performance, where I've always been slowest. As the only change I've made, my swim times have dropped from consistent 25-26 minutes to consistent low 22s. In draft-legal Olympic format, that compounds into an even HUGER difference. So far, I’ve won my division in every race, and been the top American at every Olympic development race I’ve entered this season. My goal is the Olympic podium in Beijing 2008.” – Cameron Chesnut, Post Falls, Idaho

I'm in physical therapy school right now and gave some to my exercise physiology professor to check out. He claimed that the science behind it makes sense and after the sample I gave him he turned into a regular user of the stuff. Seems to work well for me, especially in the early season when I'm out of shape. –“taoslcl”, Teton Gravity Research forums

After you've defeated cancer, you get really particular about what you put in your body. You don't want to trigger a relapse. SportLegs' simple, healthy ingredients make the cut. And so does the performance. I'd been trying to win a triathlon for four years. This year, I added SportLegs to my training regimen. And here I am on the way to my first victory in the Charleston Sprint Triathlon. -Charles Blackmon, 55, Kershaw, South Carolina

Sports legs is the s**t. Both as a during the ride aid and AWESOME for a quick recovery! –“Rontele”, Teton Gravity Research forums

"I discovered a supplement which seems to be working really well. It's called Sportlegs and it seems to nearly completely remove the burn in my legs both during workout and also afterwards." -David Shen, Marina del Rey, California in his Ironman training blog "All About Recovery" Training, Training, Training - http://www.dshen.com/blogs/training/

SportLegs for a week: What I got from it, was that

3) I can hurt myself on long days, making the next day worse than normal for recovery

At the end of the day, I feel a little dirty. I don't even like taking advil unless I can't sleep without it. After a week of using SportLegs, I can totally understand the attraction of doping in sports. Having something that makes that noticable of a difference available made me start to feel like a junkie. Gotta have my sportslegs in the morning... "forkboy", mtbr.com forums

Sportslegs. Kicks. Ass. Love it. -"Christine", mtbr.com forums

SportLegs is amazing! Thanks, "Sportlegs" got me through one of the most hilly marathons with ease. No soreness during or the next day. This was my third marathon. My legs locked down during the first 2 marathons and were sore for days afterwards without sportlegs. Sportlegs made my third marathon a success story. Its amazing! I am not telling my running buddies about it because everything that I have discovered and shared with them has made then the greater competitor. I have one major advantage over them now with sportlegs! I will be ordering more. Thanks for such a great product! -Alice Webb, Tucson, Arizona

I just ordered another case of Sport Legs. Please include some samples for distribution to my daughter’s swim team members. Several are interested and one tried some at the last meet. My daughter uses them daily for swimming and also for mountain biking, I use them daily for running and my son uses them for hockey and mountain biking. We’ll see you at Sea Otter.
-Pete Larko, Los Gatos, California

As far as Sportlegs being too good to be true, or some marketing myth, I would challenge you to try the product out and see for yourself. I myself was skeptical the first time I took it, but 45 minutes into my first training session w/ them and no noticeable muscle burn or leg fatigue, and I was a believer. I've turned many people onto this product and they have all had great success and some really amazing improvements in their efforts. I can honestly say it's the only product I've ever used that not only lives up to all its claims, but exceeds all my expectations. -"psychobillycadillac", mtbr.com forums

I just had my best 14-mile race ever! My friend, trainer Joe Turner, said SportLegs would really help, but I told him I never try something new on race day. But when he told me how safe SportLegs is, I figured what the heck. And I'm so glad I did! I beat friends I've never beaten before, by like five minutes. And even though I ran faster than ever, I'm not nearly as sore as usual afterward. SportLegs is as amazing as Joe promised! I'm ordering a bottle NOW! -Alison Kyle, 32, Jackson, Wyoming

SportLegs has helped me regain my confidence as an athlete at 56. It's funny, but it takes a while before you really trust what you're feeling. It's natural to fear you're going to have to pay for feeling this good, and this strong, with some kind of agony afterward. But you don't. -"Chip" Coakley, Shaker Heights, Ohio

2 days now I've used SportLegs. ALL I CAN SAY IS -I'M GLAD I PUT IN THE ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!! The legs hurt, BUT nowhere close to what I'm used to!!! THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT -Michael Morton, Idyllwild, California

As a team coach, I need to personally test everything out there. As a former pro racer, I've tried every performance supplement available, but I’ve never found one that actually does what it promises like SportLegs. I was blown away the first time I tried it. On a familiar 16-mile circuit, familiar road bike, with a heart rate monitor assuring my usual training parameters, the reduction in "burn" was so significant, I thought it couldn't be just these little capsules. But it is. You know how it feels when the "burn" starts coming, and it grows until you have to back off or stop? Well, the initial "taste" shows up, and then the "burn" just levels off.  Recovery after climbs or sprints is much faster. We're seriously interested in getting our team on SportLegs. -Derin Stockton, Team Manager, Santa Cruz Bicycles/Intense Tire Systems race team, Temecula, California

Proof in a minute and a half. I've been taking SportLegs an hour before my fairly brutal 20-minute stationary bike workout in the morning, with resistance increases every two minutes. But I didn't fully appreciate how much more bearable SportLegs has made my workouts until this morning. Only a minute and a half into the session, still at the lowest resistance setting, my quads started "burning" and getting worse fast. Over the next 30 seconds, my thoughts sequenced from "Hey, what's this?" to "How am I going to make the full 20 today?" to "OWW!" to "Screw this!"  So why was I such a WIMP today? I looked into my SportLegs bottle, and saw the same six capsules I noticed after I took them yesterday. I'd forgotten to take my SportLegs. What an amazing workout aid this stuff is. With it, I can ENJOY a kick-ass, productive workout. -Carl Holmes, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

SportLegs are my new secret weapon! I've been using them for Duathlons and road bike racing, but yesterday was the first time I tried them just for swimming. I'm a Masters Swimming Coach. Compared to the day before, without taking SportLegs first, I felt noticeably stronger and faster. -Sharon Sander, 40, U. S. Olympic Pentathlete, San Antonio, Texas

I received a sample at the Boston Marathon and tried it at a recent 1/2 marathon I ran. My legs felt great afterward so I decided to order some and give it a try. -Kathy Tetreault, Lake Orion, Michigan

I got second in the duathlon (first Master) and had the fastest bike split of all the girls which was cool. My legs are just getting used to that second run after the bike. I will keep you posted on the bike race this weekend. I think the SportLegs helped me a lot. We also went on a really tough, hilly, fast ride the day after the duathlon and I was keeping up with some really fast guys!! Thanks for the product and I will keep testing it! -Sharon Sander, 40, U. S. Olympic Pentathlete, San Antonio, Texas

SportLegs has made sports performance easier for my Personal Training clients- and me. I used to recommend a "cocktail" of one sport supplement before training, another during, still another for recovery after.  I've found that as a single product, SportLegs works nearly as well as my three former favorites (including Endurox®) combined. And simpler is better, in my book. Plus it's healthier for my clients. It's not a difficult choice. SportLegs is good stuff. -Pierre Pelletier, Endurance Sports Specialist, Aspen, Colorado and Hood River, Oregon

Skier, triathlete: “These work like magic!” I found a package of these capsules (their last) in a ski shop in Vail after 5 full days of skiing lift open to close in heavy spring snow in the back bowls. My quads were aching even in my sleep that night, and I thought I would have to take an "easy day" for sure the next day. But no such thing. I took these pills and felt great all day, run after run. As a triathlete, lactic build up is a constant issue for me as I train in one or more sports almost every day.   Even on the bike, these work like magic! The hills are where I can tell the most difference, my legs don't seem to give out as fast. I have been using them a lot, training hard for a 56 mile race, I definitely felt they helped me keep going - both as I was building up the milage and intensity in my training workouts and - best still - on race day itself where it really counts. -Nancy Schutt, Mt. Kisco, New York

I really like your product. I first tried it while I was skiing. However, recently I started using it for sprint-distance triathlons. -Deborah Blackburn, Austin, Texas

Eased running the Boston Marathon. SportLegs really worked to cut the pain and soreness of my long training runs for the Boston Marathon. So I figured I might as well take it for the race, too. In other marathons my quads would shut down around mile twenty and made finishing the race near impossible. This time it did not happen and I am convinced that it was due to your product. -Michael Hill, Cleveland, Ohio
