UltraMarathon Runners Drink Goji Juice




If you are going to run with Charlie Engle, Ray Zahab, and Kevin Lin, you better pack a lunch. And a breakfast. And a dinner. And a tent. Because when these world renowned Ultra Distance Runners start moving, they go for thousands of miles. Through torrential rain, blinding snow, and unbelievable heat. And still live to tell about it.

What would make someone think they could survive running across an entire continent where temperatures hit 136 degrees, sand dunes reach over 1400 feet, and poisonous creatures and perilous plants have the right of way? Two words: Experience. Preparation.

The Marketing Executives, Ray, Kevin (not to be confused with our very own Co-Founders Ray and Kevin who are not running this race because they are running FreeLife) and Charlie have bios that prove they are true road warriors. Californian Charlie Engle has competed in over 100 triathlons, 40 marathons, and 20 ultra marathons. He's run the Death Valley, Amazon Jungle, and the Gobi Desert races, and competed in Eco-Challenges around the globe. Taiwanese superstar Kevin Lin has run in over 200 career races and never finished out of the top 5 percent. He's run the Antarctica, Egyptian Sahara, Atacama Desert, and Gobi Desert races. Canadian Ray Zahab has competed twice in the world's toughest footrace, the Marathon de Sables. He's also placed third in the Trans 333, which is a 333-kilometer (200 mile) run across Niger's Tenere Desert.

As for preparation, here's how Charlie, the tenacious terrain trio's spokesperson, summed up what FreeLife's Himalayan Goji Juice has done for them. "I've been an ultra endurance athlete for 20 years and have tried every fitness and nutritional product available to me. Himalayan Goji Juice has provided THE most powerful and fastest results I have ever experienced. The intensity of my workouts and speed of recovery have increased greatly, and my focus and concentration are truly off the charts. It's helped my body's immune system perform at such a high level, expediting muscle and cellular recovery before, during and after the races. I am a true believer that Himalayan Goji Juice is a fundamental cornerstone that will help our team go the distance."
