Overview
Here's what HPN have to say:
We have designed our Pre-run formula to
allow you to train harder and race faster.
Athletes trying Optirun Pre-Run for the first time will immediately
become aware of its key benefits and fantastic natural taste.
Optirun Pre-Run delivers a quick and easy
solution to the problem of getting the right fuel you need into your system
before a training session or race, just simply add water to your powdered
formula, shake and you’re ready to go! It’s efficient, comfortable and very
readily digested without bloating (we recommend taking 45 min before your
workout/race).
For anyone putting their body through
constant weekly workouts our Pre-Run is an absolute must buy for you.

nice taste. It only comes in Lemon flavour though, it’s not too strong and doesn't have a nasty aftertaste.

Results
The good thing with this pre workout was that
it not only gave me a quick energy boost but was really easy to drink. I didn't
suffer through it. Designed as a pre run formula it really did give me the
drive I needed while doing cardio workouts either in the gym or playing sports.
Since this is a “cardio” preworkout when I used it whilst weight training it
didn’t supply me with any extra pump or the usual things we’ve come to expect
from a preworkout but the energy boost was still just as effective. So it’s
clearly more geared towards sports and cardio (it’s called Pre-Run!) but it still
has a place in the gym. Overall it does exactly what it set out to do and
that’s the sign of a great product. 8/10
