Flavour isn't bad wouldn't mind a few options if there was a choice when ordering as this isn't something I'd normally opt for but not bad, however what a great product gave me all I needed for run really noticed after about 4k still plenty of gas in tank even in 27c heat so happy day will definitely come back.
Scott, you are absolutely right, and I am excited at the prospect of bringing new flavours. The feedback that it works i.e., improves your running, is the green light for me to go back into production briefing with momentum to bring bigger and better flavours, and more product lines. Thank you.

I have only used this a few times so far but it genuinely seems to be helping my runs feel less sluggish!
Wonderful, thank you so much for trying Prerun and then taking the time to leave a review Claire. Your feedback is the singular goal of Prerun, to make your runs feel better.
Joshua, Prerun Founder
I’m pretty new to running and normally run first thing in the morning, so don’t have time to have breakfast beforehand but felt I was missing out on something running completely unfuelled. I have a bog standard pre-workout and had used this for running a few times but wasn’t a good fit at all. Made me feel jittery and like I had a sudden burst of energy but in the long run, not really helping at all.
When an advert came up for Prerun I thought it’d be worth a go. I’ve only used it a few times, but so far I think it makes a real difference. I was a bit worried about the taste when I seen some of the reviews, but honestly I think it’s good, not sharp or bitter, or overly sweet like most pre-workouts. I feel better fuelled and as though it keeps working throughout the whole run, rather than just a 10 minute burst of energy.
Will definitely re-order!
Thank you so much for leaving this review, it blows me away to see such active and engaged customers. Also, as I said privately, that opening paragraph could double as my exact response to “why did you start Prerun?”. Thank you so much for relating to the product story, and then for sharing your feedback with me like this.
Joshua, Prerun Founder
Lou, thank you so much for this review! & for the other messages and comments across the pages. If you ever need anything, please let me know.

I’m a beginner runner looking to improve my stamina and endurance, and can honestly say this helps. I feel more energized when I’ve had it. It says wait 15 mins, I’d say more 30, but that’s preference. Taste is okay, bit of an acquired one, but far from awful! If you are looking for something to get you ready to run without breaking the bank or making you feel ill, this is the one for you. Definitely recommend.
Gemma, thank you so much for leaving this review. I also love that you have played around with it and feel 30 minutes is optimal for you. The beginning of the running journey is by far the most rewarding so I hope you push on and enjoy every minute on your feet.

I’m a casual runner, and needed something that was going to be able for me to digest easily and give me a natural boost mid run. This is it. Great taste, acted within 2km, no crash afterwards. I’m a fan now, highly recommend it, also it’s good value.
Jeff, this an extremely good review! Thank you for your feedback, both publicly and privately. I hope it continues to serve your runs, and if you need anything let me know.

Didn't receive my order.
All our orders are tracked, and additional assistance from the Royal Mail showed successful delivery. Regardless, I still provided a full refund (including delivery charge). I uphold the highest commitment to every single order and interaction with customers.

Absolutely smashed my long run today .The first time I've used pre run this morning...Great taste I felt great all 20k if my run
.....
Lee, thank you so much for trying Prerun, and for writing this review. I'm so pleased that you found a noticeable difference. Also 20k run, good work!
Joshua, Prerun Founder
Fantastic product definitely gives me more focus, will without doubt be a staple supplement that will be taken on every run if I had to find the tiniest fault……it tastes yuk so
I added a little diluted juice to it but that’s a me problem excellent product 10/10
Suzanne, I really appreciate this, it was great chatting with you on Instagram as well. I’m so glad you’re feeling the focus side of it, that’s exactly what I built it for. Honestly, the taste comment is completely fair, some people really like it, others not so much. I'm finding that's the trade-off of with keeping it clean and not opting for fillers or unnecessary sweeteners. Adding a bit of juice is a great shout though.
This review genuinely means a lot at this stage.

I was looking for a 'Pre-workout' for runners, and wondered if one even existed when I stumbled upon Prerun
Of course I immediately bought it, along with the cute little bottle
I'm currently training for several half marathons, and since taking this I've found I'm more focused during runs and less fatigued
The taste isn't offensive and it doesn't upset my gut at all
Definitely worth a try! 🙌
Vik, I sincerely appreciate this review. This truly helps build trust amongst those who are not sure yet, so I am so very thankful for you writing it. Also, it sounds like you've got quite a busy training block, all the best with your upcoming HM's, tag Prerun in your results so I can see.
Joshua, Prerun
Used today for my first half marathon, really did help me . I have lost 8.6 stone in the last year and have taken to running and really enjoyed it . I have looked for products to help me and most are crap , I used pre run and sis gels and chews and knocked it out of the park today
Firstly, incredible work dropping that weight, keep driving forwards Lewis. Secondly, thank you so much for trying Prerun, I am so pleased that you're happy with the impact it has. SiS gels are great, combining the two is a great combination. Thanks again.
Joshua, Prerun Founder
Good product will order regularly and love how genuine the owner is in finding your thoughts on the product, both positive or negative comments ( not that there is anything negative) from my point of view .Keep up the good customer service
Jamie, thank you so much for writing this review, and for contacting me directly. I am extremley keen that Prerun becomes a community, and speaking with you directly really felt like that.
Joshua, Prerun Founder
Tastes gross but it does work so may be worth necking it like a shot of tequila
Hayley, thank you for writing this, it genuinely helps.
Taste is a huge challenge when developing a product like this. I made a very conscious decision to prioritise high-quality, effective ingredients without adding unnecessary fillers; which are regularly used in other products to improve taste and dissolvability. It does mean the flavour isn’t as 'easy' as some alternatives, but the trade-off is a cleaner, higher quality formula.
That said, I completely understand your point and it’s something I’ll absolutely take on board for the next round. Maybe a citrus lemon & lime is the answer.

Ordered the prerun powder and water bottle which arrived very quickly after using in my tempo/interval runs its been an absolute game changer 👏🏻 will definitely be using for my upcoming races (including the Chester triple) unfortunately the bottle arrived with no prerun logo/writing on it but after a quick email to inform them the owner emailed me back apologised and offered to send a new bottle out for me
5 ⭐️ customer service and product
Hoping they introduce more flavours and some prerun merch! ✌🏻
Pete, thank you so much for this review. I am incredibly pleased you are happy with Prerun and importantly, have seen a difference in your running. Also, your new bottle is on the way
Joshua, Prerun Founder
It's ok, little bit bitter, doesn't dissolve brilliantly and not sure it's made a massive impact to my runs
Jules, I appreciate you sharing this, thank you.
The bitterness and dissolvability come from a deliberate choice to prioritise high-quality ingredients without adding fillers that smooth those things out - many alternatives prioritise flavour. On the impact side, that’s the most important part, and something I’m always looking to improve.
I really value the feedback, it all goes into making the next version better.
Joshua, Prerun Founder

An increase in focus was a massive part of building Prerun, so it's incredibly pleasing to see this feedback come through.
Joshua, Prerun Founder
Best product on the market, gives you that instant buzz to get moving, no crazy tingle feeling or red face.
Thank you so much for writing this review, Stace.
Being the best product on the market is absolutely the intention for Prerun!
Joshua, Prerun Founder
I never write reviews but I just had to for this! I tried it for the first time this morning and could physically feel the results which is amazing. I’m training for my fourth marathon and something I really struggle with is staying in zone 2. So for this training block, I’m doing zone 2 runs each week. I usually have to run 13 minute miles to stay in zone 2 and it’s incredibly frustrating. I’m not going to make out this is a miracle and I could run as fast as I wanted without my heart rate raising, but I managed to do 10 minute miles without spiking which is a huuuuuuge result. Although I work really hard at it and I enjoy my progress and results, running isn’t natural to me, but this morning it did feel a hell of a lot easier than usual. Really looking forward to trying it out for my interval run and long run this week too. My only tiny criticism isn’t I don’t love the taste, I’m quite sensitive to the taste of sweeteners and I could taste it quite prominently here, but I don’t mind. It’s designed to do a job and I’ve definitely tasted a lot worse when trying other running products!
It seems really good. Had a great 1st workout with it.
Darren, thank you so much leaving Prerun a 5-star review.
