Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, Caffeine Drink Mix with Electrolytes, Non-GMO, Free of Soy, Dairy, and Gluten, Vegan, Tropical Buzz, 30 Servings

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.

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!

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.

I love the taste of watermelon lime flavor. I needed a good flavor to use it on my runs. Between Gu, tailwind, Skratch and many other brands, I think this was the best value for money. It dissolves clear in water, so you don't need to shake it too much, taste awesome and is good on stomach.Now, I'll always buy tailwind, I do need to try other flavors too.

Solid, dissolved well. Taste is faint compared to most other powders but that means you can double it in one bottle and not hate yourself for doing so, or drink it all day and not get tired.

This stuff is amazing whether it is a long run, workout or a race. When I race, I run hard (sub 3 hour marathoner speaking) .This is a phenomenal product. I don't get GI issues with this like I do with other products. It is expensive, but you can count on it to do the job.

Great product, Good taste and help a lot in cycling trainings.

As of the start of 2024 I began running a 5k 3 x times a week with a 3 x 1 mile + hill sprints + pullups + plyometrics on Saturday. Tailwind is a fantastic addition to my workouts - I was dead towards the end of most of my workouts on days I'd run. I had low expectations for Tailwind as I have used sports drinks like Gatorade and such before and never really felt good after drinking them / I don't think it was the biggest performance boost. Tailwind works, I'm not saying it will cut a minute off your mile, but you'll go longer without feeling as tired. It's alright for lifting - especially in Florida where my garage gets HOT and I sweat a lot, but Tailwind is best for running. I definitely notice a performance boost when it comes to distance and staying fresh the whole run.Just a note on taste - I prefer a product like this with a more neutral taste that is not too in your face. Too many drinks are loaded with food coloring and additives. This stuff is exactly what it is marketed as.
