Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel Berry 30 Servings, Hydration Drink Mix with Electrolytes and Calories, Non-GMO, Free of Soy, Dairy, and Gluten, Vegan Friendly

5 hours) and a 50-kilometer trail run (6 hours) with no cramping or side effects. The Naked flavor is actually quite good, and it's very easy to digest. But, halfway through the 50K run (which was extremely exhausting and hilly), I needed to eat a protein bar to regain my mental clarity and energy. Since then, I've learned from other ultrarunners (and other products) that protein is essential for preventing blood sugar drops during long workouts. In addition to the energy nutrition, I will always use protein from now on. If a competitor's product with 4g of protein per serving performs better, I will most likely not renew. However, for shorter events, this is a fantastic product! br>Updated on February 2, 2020: Tailwind Nutrition quickly explained how to incorporate protein into my fueling strategy, which I think is a fantastic idea. This gets a five out of five. star now! Response: "It's actually even simpler. " br> Use straight Rebuild instead of Endurance Fuel because it contains glucose and sucrose. We have a few customers who, like you, are on very long missions and would benefit from some protein. They'll end up using both products, with Endurance Fuel serving as the primary fuel source and Rebuild serving as a backup.

I'm a long-distance runner who used to get leg and abdominal cramps after particularly strenuous training and races. I've been using it for months and haven't had a single cramp! No more waking up in the middle of the night with a hamstring in a knot, or bending over and having an abdominal muscle lock up. When I say "zero issues," I really mean it. br>I've cramped while using Gu gels, so Tailwind's mix must be superior. I had intended to buy the raw materials and make my own endurance fuel, but I don't think I'll be able to compete with this.

It's a fantastic source of energy for long-distance running. I've been using it on ultra runs for a while now and plan to keep doing so. br>The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that it claims to be all-in-one fuel, but I've discovered I still need protein, and if I mix at the recommended level, the salt content causes my hands and fingers to swell. As a result, I use a lower dose, which alleviates the swelling.

After a friend raved about it, I decided to buy it. I was skeptical at first, but I clung to the hope that the promises it made would be fulfilled. I run a lot of ultramarathons and almost always have GI issues both during and after the race. Food becomes unappealing after a certain number of miles (usually 60 or more), and my digestive system appears to be completely shut down. I have a hard time stomaching sweet/sugary drinks like Gatorade, so I'm usually exhausted. My 17 oz soft flask bottles hold about 150 calories of Tailwind based on the recommended serving size, so maybe 30-35 calories. A gel costs 50 times as much as a gel. It's not overly sweet, but it has a flavor to it (I got the Berry flavor). ) I bought this product to use at the 2017 Bryce Canyon 100 Miler before learning that it would be the only thing available during the race. I would fill one bottle with Tailwind and the other with plain water at each aid station. I'm going to assume their mixing ratio was similar to what I'd do at home. br>br>At the start of the race, I weighed around 145 pounds (to put things in perspective), and I think I drank twelve 17-ounce bottles of Tailwind, skipping the last aid station refill. Apart from that, I only had two gels, two basic granola bars, and a half-banana for the entire, nearly 28-hour journey. race for one hour I didn't bonk, though I did have a brief period of exhaustion. There's a distinction to be made here. Despite temperatures reaching the mid-twenties, I had no GI issues in the middle of the night. In the shade, it's the 1980s. There was only a sliver of shade. The most surprising outcome of the Tailwind was that, later in the race, I did feel hungry. This has never happened to me because my system is usually so messed up that I can't even think about eating. I should point out that, while I didn't eat much solid food, I could have if I had tried. I just didn't think I needed it very often. br>br>I was a little hesitant because this was my first time using the Tailwind. I suppose I could have gone with more Tailwind and less water, but I didn't want to risk it because I didn't know how my system would handle it. My friends who were with me during and after the race said I looked surprisingly good considering what I had been through. br>br>My friends who were with me during and after the race said I looked surprisingly good considering what I had been through. I mention this because one of my friends saw me after a 100-miler in October the previous year that took about the same amount of time and said I looked like. . . Unfortunately, this is not the case. I didn't have Tailwind at that event, but I wish I had, and I know I'll be carrying it in every distance race from now on. br>br>The packaging claims Tailwind is the only nutrition you need, but I think my metabolism is a little too high for that, and that's fine as long as my body doesn't reject it. I'm not sure I could eat enough during a long ultra to avoid losing weight, but it's nice to have finally found a product that will keep me going without putting me out due to GI issues.

When doing yard work in the summer, you can lose a lot of water. br>I've tried a few different brands in the hopes of finding something that wouldn't make my stomach hurt. br>This is the only product I've found that I can drink multiple bottles of without getting the cramps that other brands give me. br>The important part is that I don't lose energy after working for a few hours in the Texas heat if I can grab a cold bottle of Tailwind from the refrigerator. br>It's actually quite amazing how crucial electrolytes are for maintaining your energy levels throughout the day.

I've used it successfully on several 20-mile trail runs in hot and humid conditions. Unlike gels, you don't have to time your intake, and the electrolytes appear to be effective. The flavor was light, slightly sweet, and salty, and I used two scoops per 24 oz of water. After about 2 hours, I discovered that. After 5 hours, all I wanted was water, so I started carrying a small bottle of plain water around with me to refresh my mouth. I've never had any stomach problems, but I've never had any with gels, so it wasn't a problem I was trying to solve. Overall, I am pleased with this product and intend to use it in conjunction with other nutrition during long runs and bike rides. So far, I've only used pre-made templates. I haven't tried taking the powder and mixing it at other water stops because my routes usually take me near my car every 5 to 10 miles, but it mixes well at home and I expect it would do so on the go.

For ultrarunners and other endurance athletes, this is a must-have item. I used to get terrible "gut bombs" from gels and other "bars," but this worked like a charm. I did a 50K on this alone, and it was great for cals and electros.
