 "I have used my VAAM packets during training and my conclusion is: This is great stuff! I have used it during some both very intense workouts and then during some very long ones. Here is my feedback:I had great effect before endurance training workouts if I mixed a packet of VAAM in a half litre of low a concentrated carbohydrate mix and drank it one hour before the workout. It seemed to dial in my metabolism just right. On long rides I would consume two packets of VAAM in my first two drink bottles and that would also set me up for the ride. In general I've felt energetic, I've had great endurance and in general dialed in. This couldn't have come more at a more convenient time since I had a few weeks that I struggled with training and just found out through some tests that I had been fighting pneumonia during the time I actually had my first workout feeling good during my first day on VAAM. My first impression is megapositive, this is no hype!" Joans Colting, top Swedish triathle |
"Pressure is nothing more than the shadow of great opportunity." Michael Johnson
"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
Jesse Owens

"Just wanted to let you know I had good results from using VAAM I found a huge difference in endurance training and during racing and my long hard training runs .VAAM works because I'm going to my first Boston Marathon this year. I only been in racing circuit for 3 years . my first 2 marathon without VAAM I ran 3:43, 3:36 and with VAAM 3:05.Thank you for giving me something that works."
Som Soukhome, Michigan, USA
"Endurance Training in South Florida year around I find that VAAM enables a runner to hold your fluid longer -- staves off dehydration better than any other preparation, enables you to run faster in the heat, and I look forward to using VAAM daily for the upcoming marathon season. If you haven't tried VAAM yet then your giving the edge to the runner next to you."

"The will to win means nothing if you haven't the will to prepare." - Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner
“The women's marathon winner at the Sydney Olympics has revealed the secret of her success -- she drank the stomach juices of giant, killer hornets that fly 100km a day at up to 25 km/hr. Naoko Takahashi, from Japan, consumed VAAM hornet juice during training and the race itself after scientists discovered that it had astonishing powers to boost human stamina”.
New York Times, October 16, 2000 on Sydney Olympics Marathon Gold Medalist Naoko Takahashi
Motivational quotes for athletes about Cross Country Running
The start of a World Cross Country event is like riding a horse in the middle of a buffalo stampede. It's a thrill if you keep up, but one slip and you're nothing but hoof prints.
Ed Eyestone
The freedom of Cross Country is so primitive. It's woman vs. Nature.
Lynn Jennings
Stadiums are for spectators. We runners have nature and that is much better.
Juha Väätäinen, Finland
Motivational quotes for athletes about Marathon Running
To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who's never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind.
Jerome Drayton
Marathon running is a terrible experience: monotonous, heavy, and exhausting.
Veikko Karvonen, 1954 European and Boston Marathon Champ
You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.
Frank Shorter
Marathoning is like cutting yourself unexpectedly. You dip into the pain so gradually that the damage is done before you are aware of it. Unfortunately, when awareness comes, it is excruciating.
John Farrington, Australian marathoner
There is the truth about the marathon and very few of you have written the truth. Even if I explain to you, you'll never understand it, you're outside of it.
Douglas Wakiihuri speaking to journalists
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.

"I first heard about VAAM when I was endurance training in Boulder Colorado in 2000. But instead of ridiculing the drink of hornet extract, I was very intrigued. Especially when I noticed that the Japanese elite runners who were there were training real hard and found out that they were all advocates of this unusual sports fluid. I figured that if it was working for them, then it may help me as well. I tried a bottle of VAAM for a long run. I felt great and enjoyed it right away.
I can’t rave enough about VAAM. I like the fact that you recovery more quickly from your workout and seem to be able to run for a long time while taking VAAM. VAAM has a flavor that is not going to overwhelm anyone (don't worry, it actually tastes good). It is crisp and refreshing for a sports drink. Another plus is the lack of after taste. You don't want an upset stomach when you are racing. It is very easy to take in during exercise. It mixes very well too. No powder left in bottom of drink bottle it all mixes into the fluid. When I race in this year’s Boston marathon, I drank VAAM at every 5k during the marathon. I had 8 bottles of VAAM out on the course".
Mark Coogan, US Olympian, 3rd place US Elite Male, Boston Marathon 2002
