I’m always looking for a way to work smarter and maximize my workouts, so when I was contacted about being a brand ambassador for X2Performance® as part of a limited time program, I was very intrigued. I had first heard of X2Performance when Beth from Shut Up & Run made it a key part of her Ironman Florida training last year. Back then I was curious and wondered if this would be a product for me – I mean I wasn’t training for an Ironman – was it something I could benefit from? But, I never got around to learning more about it.
So I was really psyched when I was contacted about being part of the X2Performance spring program! Before signing on, I wanted to check out the ingredients. From their site I learned that the X2Performance’s patent-pending BIOIDS® Advanced Cellular Formula is comprised of glucose, bioenergy RIBOSE®, PEAK ATP® Disodium, Coenzyme Q10, natural caffeine, D-Pinitol, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The goal of X2Performance is
to support ATP production – the body’s essential unit of energy – to naturally increase energy, enhance endurance and improve recovery. X2PERFORMANCE® works so athletes get the most out of every workout and maximize performance.”
Sounded good – I was ready to try it for myself and I joined #TeamX2!

My first try was before my long run on Saturday – it would be my first time attempting 9 miles since last fall. Seemed like a good place to start. I was a little nervous about how my stomach would react, but I had no issues and the slightly citrus taste was better than I expected. I definitely felt a boost at the start – not at all jittery. It was a good solid run, and best of all was how I felt later in the day and the following morning.
The next test was my first pilates barre class followed by a 6-mile progression run. While that class kicked my butt (a post for another day!), I still felt strong throughout my run. Once again I was happy with the way my legs felt the rest of the day. And this morning, as I get ready to head out for hill work, my legs are feeling fairly fresh – I’ll be taking another X2Performance before this workout as well.
I’m happy with how things are going so far. I still have a few more bottles left so I will update you again next week. As a brand ambassador, I’m happy to be able to offer you a chance to try it for yourself!

They contacted me also but I use Energybits for fueling my runs. I wondered about this though. Plus I’m in the middle of half marathon training and don’t want to change anything up. But I may give this a try after my race. Thanks for sharing!
I can definitely understand not wanting to shift gears in the middle of training. When’s your race?
I am so glad your stomach didn’t flop on you! That would have sucked :-/ I’m glad your results were positive too!!
Thanks Samantha – I usually have a pretty iffy stomach so I was pleasantly surprised 🙂
Sounds promising! Keep us posted.
So far so good. I’ll update again next week.
Liking mine too!!! 🙂
Glad you’re enjoying Jody!
Sounds like it’s going well! I love your candid review of the product and that you let us know how you felt all along the way.
I’m eager to get my hands on a sample now and try for myself.
Thanks Nicole!
Glad you’re loving it, Michelle! I had very similar experiences when trying it…glad to hear it’s more across the board than random reactions! 🙂 Great workouts too!
I agree Bonnie it has been great to hear others have been having a positive experience too!
I keep meaning to try a pilates barre class…it looks so hard!
If you get the chance definitely try a class. It was hard but a great workout!
oh I am glad to hear it didn’t upset your stomach. I am nervous about that too! Can’t wait to try it out.
Amanda that was one of things I worried about the most! Hopefully you’ll find it easy on your stomach too 🙂
Nicely done…..and hey, I really like the layout of your website.
Darryl
Thanks a lot Darryl!
Sounds interesting! I’m always wary of supplements…looks like it’s working well for you to start!
Honestly Janelle I’m usually wary of supplements too. I liked that the ingredients were all natural – and so far so good!
I’m looking forward to hearing more about how you like this!
Great review! I also liked the endurance boost X2Performance gave me during my strength training workouts.
Great information. Thanks for sharing
