โ
As the air turns crisp and the holidays approach, every runner knowsโthe hardest part isnโt just getting out the door, itโs finding the fuel that carries you through the miles and the season. Coffee fades. Pre-workouts crash. Energy drinks spike and burn out.
But what if your energy didnโt just last through the runโwhat if it powered you through your entire day?
Thatโs where Pique comes in. A luxury wellness brand powered by rare plants and cutting-edge ingredients, Pique is the perfect gift for the runner (or wellness lover) in your life. Their science-backed botanicals, minerals, and adaptogens support steady energy, faster recovery, and stronger immunityโjust what every athlete needs to thrive through winter.
Meet NandakaโPiqueโs secret weapon for endurance that lasts. Built to fuel focus, stamina, and recovery, itโs made for runners who donโt quit when the weather turns cold.
The Marathon Handbook team put Nandaka to the testโand the results spoke for themselves. Instead of the spike-and-crash of coffee or pre-workouts, we felt steady energy that carried us through long runs and busy days alike. Recovery came faster, focus felt sharper, and that dreaded afternoon slump? Gone.
โจ Why Runners Love Nandaka
