Sharkies Video Feature Focuses On Athletes Of The ADP
(Colorado Springs, CO) - Athletes of the American Distance Project are the focus of a four-minute video produced by Sharkies, the Organic Energy Sports Chew, and asks the question "Why do you run?" Sharkies is in its first year of partnership with the ADP and not only provides their organic nutritional recovery product to ADP athletes, but also supports athletes with financial performance bonuses and training camp budgeting.
The video, with training footage and interviews of the American Distance Project athletes in Colorado Springs, gives insight into what motivates and drives elite athletes as disparate as Wendy Thomas, 12th place U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon finisher and mother of two, to August Maiyo, a naturalized Kenyan-American who serves in the U.S. Army and competes for their World Class Athlete Program.
The video can be seen on the ADP's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AmericanDistanceProject or on YouTube at http://youtu.be/K3hIHT9cpZM
