Under Armour Bite Tech

Thank you Dr. John for my Bite Tech Performance Mouthwear! (That’s a mouthful – pun intended)

I haven’t been writing all summer because I’ve been running. I’m training for the Hartford 1/2 Marathon in October and have been busy hitting the pavement. Today I got what has been described by other athletes as a secret weapon.

I admit I am a skeptic, but also very curious. Over the next few weeks leading up to the race I’ll let you know how my training is going and what effect I think the mouthpiece has. If anyone has any good ideas for a test they’d like to see me perform, please let me know.

I will try it in long distances, mile repeats, swimming, and general workouts. This Sunday should be a good test with a 10 mile trail run.

  1. Kevin,
    I just got one of these myself and I’m using it for weight training and cross training for an upcoming 5k! My race is September 26th, I’ll keep you posted with my thoughts too.

    Take Care,
    Ian

    • Hi Ian,

      Good luck with the race. It would be tough for me to say it helped during my run as I think my mouth tends to hang open and stay relaxed when I run anyway. I want to use it this week in a swim and bike where I might press a little more. I think it would work for weights and other contact type sports. What’s you 5k goal? Is this your 1st race?
