Endurance Fuel, Carbohydrate & Electrolyte Sports Drink Mix Powder, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Lemon, 50 Servings

I will start by saying, I am NOT an endurance athlete, though I wish I was. I am a 57 year old male, running for 10 years now. I trudge 25-30 miles a week with a little speed work mixed in, a long run. Not unlike most runners. Tailwind, what I appreciate is that it mixes very well, no clumps to block whatever I am drinking out of. My go to flavor is the lemon. Goes to down smooth, good taste, no gut bombs. It took a few efforts in mixing to find my sweet spot, but when I did Tailwind has performed. At least I think it has? By that I mean this. I do not feel a rush of energy nor does my speed increase climbing hills. I do not feel amazing. But what I have noticed is that I do not slow down either, I do not bonk nor do I get discouraged. Mentally, it gives me the confidence in knowing I can do this. I am able to keep trudging like I have not able to before. Ergo, I believe this stuff works at keeping me balanced. I just feel like I can keep going. Yes I get tired on a 15 miler, but I feel and know that I can do it! For me, taking some Tailwind in my system every 10 minutes or so, just a few gulps, keeps me upright and moving forward. This stuff works for me. I will keep using it as long as they make it. Thank you Tailwind for getting through marathons and up mountains, and even my 5 mile easy runs.

Hi! I’m an ultra runner from Maine. I’ve been running long distances for the better part of 11 years and I remember the first time I tried Tailwind nutrition, running my first 50 mile race I was starting to get cramps in my thighs, having not taken in any electrolytes just water a fellow racer offered me some of her tailwind which I was nervous about since I have a sensitive stomach but she said I needed it. It stopped my cramps and I felt great the rest of the race! Immediately ordered some and it’s now a key part of all my training and racing. I always have a bag, use so much for every race and have never had any major stomach issues, as a matter of fact I rarely have tummy troubles during a race unless I ate something weird. It works incredibly well! Keeps you hydrated and fueled and tastes great! Don’t forget it’s needed in those cold running months too! We’re still sweating under all those layers and can get dehydrated, also if you mix tailwind a little thicker it can help prevent your water from freezing on some of those long cold runs. I even have used it after having a sickness that had me running a fever so that I could stay hydrated! I mainly stick to the lemon and unflavored variety but am planning on trying the caffeinated flavors now that I am running over night races up too 100 miles. I also have yet to try the recovery drinks but they look absolutely delicious and I have a feeling they will taste better than the typical protein powders I add to my smoothies. I absolutely love tailwind and am so glad that women offered me some that day!

Ironman worthy,,,doesn’t get thick and you can’t even tell it’s in your drink.

Easy on the gut. Mixes well. Mild lemon taste. I like to add a lemonade drink mix with it to boost the flavor. I double up the serving size for longer efforts.

I absolutely love using Tailwind! Its light flavor is refreshing and makes hydration enjoyable, without being heavy on my stomach. I rely on this product, especially during my runs in the sweltering heat of South Florida. The combination of electrolytes and carbohydrates keeps my energy levels up while ensuring I stay properly hydrated, even on the hottest days. It's a game changer for my training sessions!

Does not taste good

For a 4-mile run, pretty much any intake of water/salt/sugar an hour beforehand is fine. But for a 4-HOUR run... on a hot day... in the mountains... I need to have a real plan for nutrition and hydration. My plan begins with Tailwind Endurance Fuel. The longer the run, the more delicate the balance of nutrition. I love that Tailwind is simple so I can add or subtract from my nutrition stack accordingly. Tailwind provides the basics (electrolytes, glucose, water) in the right ratios for sustainable endurance. Because of it's simplicity, I can customize any other elements while still using Tailwind as the base. If I want some protein, I can add it as a powder or bring some nuts along for a snack. If I want to use caffeine for key sections, the Tailwind isn't messing with my caffeine plan (a lot of powders include caffeine whether you want it or not - tailwind gives you the option). If I want a different kind of sugar in the mix, I can add a little apple juice or eat some fruit along the way for fructose. Meanwhile, Tailwind still covers the basics. Tailwind absorbs well. If you can get a scoop or so into your body every hour alongside any other nutrition, you should be good to go for long runs. Tailwind in my water bottle and a few gels in my pocket... I can run a long time on that easy combo... without a bonk or an upset stomach.

Was recommended this mix from a buddy that runs ultra marathons (I’m barely getting into running my first marathon) and I love it! The powder mixes very well and tastes amazing! Super refreshing, doesn’t taste like fake sugar, and doesn’t leave a nasty after taste in your mouth. I’ll usually drink this the day before a long run and during my long run; with that I feel great, replenished, lots of energy, and don’t feel as fatigued afterwards. I’ll also throw two scoops (smaller dose) if I’m feeling tired and dehydrated and this mix helps get me back to that normal level. Out of all the electrolyte drinks on the market, this is hands down one of my favorite.

Great product. Pleasant flavour. Will be buying again. Use it for runs, biking, workouts etc.

Great drink. Expensive though. Quick delivery.

Gut verträglich, alles drin was man beaucht, auch für lange 40km+

Favourite hydration product I have used to date.

I find Tailwind the best source of fuel as it doesn't give me any stomach issues during use. Tastes good and works so that's all I need. Check out Tailwind's main site as some of the items are better priced on there.
