Thu, September 15 2011 - CLIF® BAR Rewarding College Students Who Energize Study Breaks with Outdoor Activity
EMERYVILLE, Calif., September 15, 2011 – Between classes, work, study and social obligations, college students often fall into a food trap of pizza, candy bars and sugary drinks, with their only exercise coming from frantic sprints between classes. In addition to unwanted long-term health effects, this cycle can lead to serious energy shortages and brain fatigue.
CLIF® BAR, the original energy bar made with organic ingredients, is on a mission to educate college students about the benefits of outdoor activity. Beginning Sept. 15 and continuing while supplies last, CLIF BAR is rewarding college students who post their active study breaks on Twitter with a CLIF BAR Energy Pack to energize their pursuits. Collegians who follow @ClifBar on Twitter and post their active #StudyBreak will be eligible to receive an Energy Pack that includes great tasting CLIF BARs, fitness tips, water bottles and other items intended to make outdoor recreation fun.
“CLIF BAR wants college students to know that getting outdoors for an active study break isn’t just a good idea for physical health, but can help you stay mentally sharp in the classroom,” said Carly Lutz, brand director, CLIF brands. “Getting out of the dorm and going for a run or a bike ride around campus is an essential part of keeping your mind in shape, as well as your body.”
Like most things, how to carry food and drink on a run is all about finding the best way that works best for you. We all know there are so many options, but we’re out to find the best solution for each specific style of runner.
Special guests Darris and Star Blackford of the Clif Bar Pace Team join us to share how they like to carry their sports nutrition in the latest episode of the CLIFCast podcast.
Hood to Coast is fast approaching for the Clif Bar team. This will be my first experience with a [more than] 24-hour, 200-mile relay race. I recently read an advice column listing a few of the biggest mistakes people make running Hood to Coast (or other relays, for that matter).
I have no fear of running my first leg too fast. I am a slow starter more interested in saving up my energy for later. Standing, well, I hear there are plenty of opportunities for sitting so I am not worried. Eating and drinking, no problem. That’s what my job as the Clif Bar & Company Dietitian is all about, and we make the best foods and drinks to make that happen.
Here is my personal plan to put that performance nutrition to work (Amy – Team captain – take note for the grocery list). And for additional tips on running, be sure to check out episodes of CLIFCast, our Clif Bar podcast for info on sports nutrition.
We’re honored to be recognized for the fourth year running by Outside Magazine as one of the country’s Best Places to Work!
2011’s award focuses on our company-wide aspiration to support the community. Landing at #5 on the list, Outside Magazine highlights our In Good Company program, where we partner with 11 community-minded companies to make a difference in our communities through hands-on action.
They also mention 2 Mile Challenge, where we encourage people from across the country to log miles travelled during short bike trips to compete for a $35,000 donation to a favorite charity.
At Clif, however, “doing good” doesn’t stop there! We are encouraged to sustain our communities and the planet in a variety of ways:
We like getting our heart rates up, taking a big breath of fresh air, savoring delicious food. But we also love telling stories and here's where we type 'em up. (BTW, it works both ways; leave a comment—please and thank you.)
