October StrideBox
When I was reading the October Issue of Runner's World, I came across an article about new "runner" themed monthly subscription boxes. Because nowadays they have a subscription box for everything form beauty (hello, Birchbox! and others) to ones for your baby (Citrus Lane) to one for your dog (Barkbox).
Having cancelled my GlossyBox subscription after only two boxes - being VERY unimpressed with the product selection and the ridiculous delay in shipping that I experienced in July (didn't show up until almost a month after it should have shipped) and when I contacted customer service, they were all "Oh we will send you a little extra something, we don't know what happened…yadda yadda yadda", my "little extra something" never materialized. Like I said, unimpressed.
So I decided to try out StrideBox. For $15 a month, they send you an assortment of gels, chews, fun running accessories, protein bars, etc. for you to try out. They also include discounts on the products in the box.
This is October's box, which I know I'm posting a month later, but I wanted to post this one before I posted the November box review.
In my box:
