Halloween is a recipe for sugar highs and crashes for both kids and adults! Skip the high-sugar candy this year and make these peanut butter cups instead. They’re high in healthy fats and protein, and low in refined sugar. We may be biased, but we think they’re better than the real thing.
Recipe: (Makes 6)
For the chocolate: 1 cup chocolate chips 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 scoop Triple Chocolate Brownie INVIGOR8 Superfood Shake
For the peanut butter: ½ cup natural peanut butter 2 tbsp coconut oil 2 tsp honey ½ tsp vanilla extract
In a small microwaveable bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in increments of thirty seconds, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the INVIGOR8 powder.
In a separate, small microwavable bowl, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, honey and vanilla. Microwave for 10 seconds to melt the coconut oil, then stir to combine.
Line a standard muffin pan with six muffin cups. Add 1 tablespoon of the chocolate to each muffin cup. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to solidify. Divide the peanut butter filling evenly between each muffin cup. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to solidify. Top with the remaining chocolate and place in the freezer for 10 more minutes to solidify.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) offers endurance athletes a powerful supplement to steady-state workouts by improving anaerobic capacity, speed, and cardiovascular efficiency. HIIT helps enhance VO₂ max, lactic acid tolerance, and explosive power through short bursts of maximum effort followed by recovery periods. It also supports fat loss, boosts metabolic rate, and strengthens muscle groups that aid in injury prevention. The mental and physical variety of HIIT keeps training engaging and time-efficient, making it easier to stay motivated. Integrating HIIT 1–2 times per week can elevate performance and recovery while maintaining enthusiasm for long-term endurance goals.
Burnout is a common challenge for endurance athletes and results from prolonged physical and mental stress without sufficient rest. Symptoms include persistent fatigue, soreness, frequent illness, poor sleep, and emotional signs like irritability and lack of motivation. Taking a structured break from high-intensity training helps the body recover, prevents injury, and renews mental focus—ultimately enhancing performance. A break should include active recovery, quality sleep, proper nutrition, and reflection on training goals. Gradually returning to training with adjustments and added strength work can lead to more sustainable long-term progress.
A running gait analysis is a valuable tool that helps runners improve form, efficiency, and injury prevention by evaluating biomechanics in detail. It’s especially beneficial for injury-prone runners, those hitting performance plateaus, beginners, or anyone transitioning to new shoes or terrain. Conducted by trained professionals like physical therapists, athletic trainers, or exercise physiologists, the assessment includes video analysis, functional movement tests, footwear evaluation, and personalized recommendations. This process helps identify inefficiencies and imbalances, guiding targeted improvements in technique, strength, and equipment. Though it requires an upfront investment, a gait analysis can significantly enhance performance and reduce long-term injury risk.
