Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, Carbohydrate & Electrolyte Sports Drink Mix Powder, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Dauwaltermelon, 30 Servings

Great combination of hydration and fuel for endurance events and long training runs. Simple sugars make it super easy to digest -- so no bad GI vibes, and the flavor is very light, so it doesn't cause sticky mouth syndrome and/or cause you to stop hydrating from being overwhelmed by the sweetness. I can generally run marathon distances on nothing but Tailwind, but like to combine it with a banana or two, or some fig newtons, or all of the above... anything that's real food and not goo, gel, etc.

Used for half marathon and 25K trail race. Tasted great, blends well, easy on the stomach, and met hydration/energy needs. Would recommend.

I love this drink! I’ve been using it for over 2 years now. Gives a good energy boost, has a great taste, and you feel the hydration! Great product!!

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!

Product tastes good, but the ziplock keeps tearing away, so far on my two 48oz bags, it didn't happen on the 28oz bags yet. This last shipment the ziplock tore off the first time, for what i pay for the product i'd expect a better ziplocking system.

I use this during long rides on the bike trainer in Zwift. It seems to do a good job at keeping me hydrated and restoring the electrolytes I sweat out over 2-3 hours. It also provides enough easily digestible calories that help keep me going and not fading. I also seem much less prone to being completely flattened once I am off the bike. To those who left reviews complaining about the sugar content… that’s kind of the point! This is marketed as “Endurance FUEL” - not as some artificially sweetened zero calorie sport drink. I don’t use this for shorter rides when I just want hydration. Only when I expect to be exercising continuously for multiple hours and burning 1000+ calories. Other considerations - it mixes easily, taste is decent (just about perfect when mixing 2 scoops of mix into 20 fluid ounces of water), and there are no annoying dyes that stain your water bottles if they are plastic (or other things if spilled). I do wish that the provided scoop was a bit narrower to help avoid spilling the powder when trying to mix it in a sports bottle without a funnel. But I really don’t have any other complaints.

No one is paying me or giving me anything for this review. I actually buy this stuff with my own money, which says a lot. Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel is my go-to drink mix for long rides. It’s the magical blend that keeps me pedaling when my legs are filing HR complaints and my brain is wondering why I voluntarily suffer for hours. The Mandarin flavor? Smooth, refreshing, and somehow makes me feel like I’m riding through an orange grove instead of dying halfway up a virtual climb on ROUVY or while I’m trying to keep up with fast A group riders on local groups. I rotate flavors every few months just to keep things exciting — like speed dating, but with carbs and electrolytes. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who’s ever bonked so hard they questioned their life choices. Tailwind brings you back from the brink and makes you believe again… until the next climb.

Perfect, we’ve used it for ultra distance cycling and works every time. I complement with LMNT.

Have been using it for the past couple of years in most of my longer runs and am quite happy with it. Easy to prep and plan with this product. A bit pricy but within the same range of the other brands.

Long wait for delivery,but good stuff

You want to go further then use this 👌

Why did you choose this product over others?: Wife loved it, got her through her marathin

So far the only product my stomach can tolerate on ultras
