I started running distance under 3 months ago. I just ran 15 miles with absolutely no breaks!! I felt energized and unstoppable! Not even a stop to pre! I also only had 4 1/2 hours of sleep the night before and hardly anything to eat before! I ran from 630-9am! Tailwind will ALWAYS be a HUGE part of my training! Thank you Tailwind!!
I have been using tailwind products for five years and have never had a single negative issue with any of them. Moreover, I have been well hydrated, fueled, and energized as well as I could be by using tailwind products for all distances of triathlons and through training. Best of all, I have never had any GI complications in cold, heat, humidity, or dry weather when using tailwind products.
The long distance runner who started this and created the mix got it right.
My favorite energy source on the trail. Delicious keeps me moving and focused
Caffeinated Tailwind meets all your calorie, hydration, and electrolyte needs just like you'd expect, plus it adds 35mg of caffeine per 100 calories. Caffeine is proven to significantly enhance high-intensity and endurance performance.* Raspberry Buzz, Green Tea Buzz, and Tropical Buzz available in 50 and 30 serving bags, as well as 200 calorie stick packs.
Usage is similar to regular Tailwind except that we recommend limiting continuous use to 6 hours or less to avoid building up a high concentration. Each scoop contains 100 calories and 35mg of caffeine. For endurance workouts, mix 2-3 scoops per 24 oz of water per hour. Adjust to your personal calorie needs during training, using hunger as a guide. When it’s dialed in, you’ll feel satisfied and energetic, not hungry or full. On hot days, keep the same calories per hour, but increase water. To use in combo with other foods, reduce Tailwind intake by the calories you’re consuming elsewhere to avoid overloading the gut. For shorter workouts (<2hr), you can use less Tailwind to taste.
