The Story of How Fuel Goods Came to Be - Fuel Goods

The Story of How Fuel Goods Came to Be

by Laura Jorgensen in Articles


I bet only a few of you know that all this started when I quit my job in corporate finance to pursue a professional cycling career and The Runner/RiderBox was my side hustle that paid the bills.
 
Fast forward 10 years and this episode of The Chief Endurance Officer dives deeper into The RunnerBox, RiderBox, and Fuel Goods story and the very essence of what drives us forward: the endurance mindset.
 
In this episode you get my take on things like:
  • How to keep going after devastating setbacks
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how we've embedded the endurance mindset into our team’s culture
  • Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and how setting a vision can drive your path forward
  • How technology will shape the future of sports nutrition
This episode is not just a reflection of my journey or the ethos of our company.
 
It’s a testament to the power of endurance, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that resides in all of us.
 
Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or anyone with a goal in sight, there’s a wealth of insights waiting for you in this episode.
 
🔗 Tune in Now:
As always, I am immensely grateful for each of you in this community that pushes me to be better every day.
 
Here's to pushing boundaries together,
 
Laura

The Only 6 Things You Need for a Perfect Valentine’s Day - Fuel Goods

The Only 6 Things You Need for a Perfect Valentine’s Day

Listen, we love romance. And if your Valentine is the kind of person who prefers long workouts over long-stemmed roses, we have some ideas to level up your game. A six-part plan for the perfect evening (and maybe even scoring bonus points in the process). 1. Thorne Berry Amino Complex 🍷 Sip, recover, repeat. Forget rosé—start the evening off with this blend. If they love pushing their limits, this will help them bounce back faster (so they can do it all over again).   2. The Valentine's Day Box of Fitness Chocolates  💘 Chocolate, but make it functional. Not to toot our own horn, but toot toot! We've been told this box is "genius" and we must be on to something because we're almost sold out.  And you're in luck, these chocolates pair perfectly with the Thorne Aminos you'll be sipping on. 3. Zealios Muscle Rub 💆‍♀️Massage by you first. Muscle rub second. Trust us, they'll love it. It's time to move to the massage portion of the evening and a real “I love you”? A post-workout rub-down. Ideal for recovery, relief, and the most romantic massage any athlete could ask for.   4. Stinkbug Anti-Chafe Balm 🔥 Because nothing kills the mood like chafing. If things are going well, this anti-chafe will come in handy.  Beacuse whether you're running, riding, or sweating through a "HIT workout" (wink, wink), chafing doesn’t care.  5. Water Bottle + Electrolytes 💦 They need hydration after that workout (or…😉) No matter what type of effort they're dripping from, a quality water bottle + electrolytes will keep them fresh, hydrated, and functioning.    6. Fuel Goods Buff 👀 Bonus points if you hand them this gift while actually “in the buff.”      We couldn't help but have fun with this one. The buff itself is lightweight and so cozy. But it's the way you present it that makes it a winner. There you have it! Now go make Valentine's Day a personal best! PS - We' already did the hard part -just grab the full athlete romance package HERE.
