Hello!

I’m Sarah Mac. I’m a writer, mom, runner. This is my original running blog, Running Starfish, started in 2009 to chronicle my first (and supposed to be last) marathon, all the way through qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon.

Holiday Giveaway

Holiday Giveaway

I’ve been working on the marketing and sales side of retail for over 13 years, and somehow I’m not burned out on the holiday shopping season. And I realized why this year. I only work with brands I truly believe in. I get excited to see them gain new customers, because I know the product is going to be a huge positive in their lives. And even as a kid, I got more excited about finding the perfect gift for someone else than getting one.

So my gift to you! I partnered with some of my favorite brands in the sports and wellness arena. These are products I use every single day. You can enter to win the whole bundle on IG by tagging as many friends as you’d like. To win, you do need to follow each brand and @thatsarahmac. All are tagged.

And for a BONUS entry sign up for any or all of the brand’s newsletters you’d like. Just tell me in the comments which ones you jumped in on.

I can vouch that non of these brands are spammy, your email won’t be sold, and you can cancel anytime.

ALTRED

I use AltRed before every run, and even take one half way through long runs. I notice a HUGE difference in recovery.

“Did you know there is a performance aiding phytonutrient in beets called betalains? AltRed uses a proprietary extraction process to remove nitrates and sugars creating a betalains concentrate with increased bioavailability. You cannot get this from whole beets, beet juice or beet powders. The AltRed Betalains in these tiny capsules improve oxygen delivery, mitigate lactic acid, and reduce markers of muscle damage.”

PRIZE INCLUDED:

  • x single serves

  • 1 bottle of 30

ATHLETES FOR YOGA

I have used Athletes for Yoga (was Jasyoga) for over 5 years. I notice a huge difference when I’m consistently Hitting Reset. They just moved to an awesome new platform, and I love making playlists for my training days.

“The only athlete-led, on-demand yoga video platform + app that puts yoga into context of your sport and goals, you can use yoga anytime, anywhere (even offline) to become a more balanced, resilient, and powerful athlete.”

PRIZE INCLUDED: 3 months free subscription to Athletes for Yoga Video

TELOS

I mix Collagen Boosters in my coffee every morning. But my favorite is to make half a cup of Turmeric Latte and top it with fresh brewed coffee. Double down. And on big workout days, I also add half a serving of Booster to my tea to calm my nervous system and speed recovery during sleep. Pro athletes that use Telos include Kara Goucher and Emma Coburn.

““Telos" is a Greek word for “purpose” or “goal.” There is an opportunity to enhance your health with every beverage and meal you consume. Telos is here to be your practical solution and help you add more nutrient density into your on- the- go lifestyle.”

PRIZE INCLUDED: 8 Single Serve Packets of Telos Turmeric Latte
