Khai Earth Activewear Review and Giveaway

Like all other runners I have my favorite, go to workout clothes and rarely deviate. But when I was contacted to review a new eco friendly workout top from Khai Earth I couldn’t say no. I’m a tank girl unless it is cold out so I chose the AirLite Tank but they have short sleeve active wear as well. They are a small company offering limited options but the simple options seems to meet most people’s needs. Do you prefer tanks or short sleeves to workout?


The fabric had that cotton feel but was full tech and even lighter than the usual running top. It was super soft and comfortable. My only complaint is the lack of size chart on their website, I guessed and chose a small but probably could have gone Xsmall.

It is recyclable and biodegradable…


But the true test, the workout! I sweat and not the cute sparkle sweat, but full on drenched sweat. This fabric was awesome, as the sweat dripped off my forehead the inner layer of the tank kept my chest and back dry by quickly absorbing and wicking the moisture away. The next day in my tired early morning stupor I couldn’t find a new op in the dark so I grabbed the Khai and not only was it dry but didn’t smell like day old running clothes! Admit, you’ve done it too!

Such a great top but how would it hold up to washing? The tag says to wash inside out and air dry, not too tough but I guarantee that at some point it will get dried as I (or Matt) quickly throw clothes from washer to drier. No shrinking and fabric is still as good as it was out of the package.

Check out the inner layer!
I have yet to give this top the ultimate runner test of a marathon but so far I am convinced that I will add a new addition to my workout wear. You can too! Khai is offering 30% off to all my readers with code marathonmom30 or better yet…win your own! I am giving away a Khai workout top to 3 of my readers!

    This tank looks so cute! I love one of my long sleeved shirts and my Oiselle tank but only have a few tops that I really like.

    I have a North Face Tank top that I love during the summer or for indoor workouts. Right now in the winter, I'm running in a Base Gear 1/4 zip pullover from Cabela's.

    I don't have any special tops. Honestly, the ones I use are the cheap tech ones from Walmart.

    No special or favorite tops among my workout wear here right now, but there's always the possibility that the next one that I find will be the one that becomes the favorite that I purchase in several colors once found

    I do not have a favorite workout top, either, but, due to the colder weather right now, I prefer sleeves on my workout tops

A few Races...

Image
Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month! GoMacro is offering 30% off to all my readers with code Thrive30 for online purchases Here The Thrive Bars come in 6 flavors: Caramel Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry ...
