TAILWIND NUTRITION HYDRATION, FUEL & RECOVERY

Tailwind Nutrition drink powders provide carbohydrate, electrolytes and hydration in formats designed for use during longer training and racing. Endurance Fuel combines carbohydrate with sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, with caffeinated and caffeine-free flavours available. The light-tasting powder mixes with water and can be carried in bottles, soft flasks or hydration reservoirs.

Tailwind Recovery Mix is for after training and racing rather than during exercise. Mixed with water, it provides carbohydrate, electrolytes and 20g of complete plant-based protein per serving. Tailwind products are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free.

Choosing Tailwind Nutrition

Tailwind products have different roles during and after running. Endurance Fuel provides carbohydrate and electrolytes during exercise, while Recovery Mix provides carbohydrate, protein and electrolytes after training or racing.

Which Tailwind product should I choose?

Choose Endurance Fuel when you want carbohydrate and electrolytes together in a drink during training or racing. It can provide a substantial part of your fuelling while also contributing to fluid and electrolyte intake.

Recovery Mix has a different purpose. It provides carbohydrate, electrolytes and 20g of complete plant-based protein per serving for after exercise rather than as your main drink during an ultra.

What is the difference between Endurance Fuel and Recovery Mix?

Endurance Fuel is primarily a during-exercise product. It combines carbohydrate and electrolytes with water, allowing fuel and hydration to be taken together.

Recovery Mix is designed for afterwards. Its addition of protein makes it more suitable immediately after a long training run or race, when drinking may be easier than eating a substantial meal. A single-serving sachet can also be left in a finish or drop bag ready to mix with water.

Should I choose caffeinated or caffeine-free Tailwind?

Endurance Fuel is available in both caffeinated and caffeine-free flavours. Caffeine-free versions allow caffeine to be controlled separately through coffee, cola, gels, chews or another source.

Caffeinated flavours combine caffeine with the carbohydrate and electrolyte drink. Check the individual product specification because caffeine content varies by flavour rather than applying to the entire Endurance Fuel range.

Can I use Tailwind alongside other food and fuel?

Yes. Using a combined carbohydrate and electrolyte drink does not mean it has to be your only source of calories. Some runners rely heavily on drink-based fuel, while others combine it with gels, chews or normal food according to appetite and preference.

One practical approach is to carry Tailwind in one bottle or flask and plain water in another. This provides some separation between fuel and total fluid intake, while also giving you a choice of flavour during a long race.
