Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, Carbohydrate & Electrolyte Sports Drink Mix Powder, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Raspberry Buzz, 50 Servings (Caffeinated)

I used this in my hydration pack for all my long runs. I feel it gives me the added fueling that I need in addition to my other fuels. I like that the powder is not colored and that it comes with a measuring scoop for precision. The power dissolves easily in the water and tastes good, not too sweet. I like that it comes in a larger resealable package to allow me to customize the amount I want to use. The carbohydrates and the caffeine give me the added boost I’m looking for on my runs.

I think this is a solid product. I have been using Tailwind on a lot of my runs and I never have energy issues. It's the summer in Texas, so I'll usually take a handheld with 1 or 2 scoops of Tailwind and I'm good for an hour run. On longer runs, I'll still only do one bottle of the product but I'll usually carry another thing of plain water. So I can go for a 2-3 hour run on 200 calories in 90-100 degree weather with high humidity without needing additional nutrition. YMMV. The thing I like about Tailwind is it's not overly sweet and messy like GUs can be. It's just in your bottle and you forget it's there and it provides the energy you need to power through a run, hike, or whatever. There's really not much more to say about the product. The first time I bought Tailwind, I bought their 200 calorie sticks. They're ok, but I wish they made them 100 calorie or crimped the packet so its evenly divided or resealable because if you only want to use half the packet, you have to find a way to reseal it which is a pain. I've had issues with it spilling all over the place in my car because I forgot that I hadn't used the whole thing. Not fun. So now I just buy this big old bag of white power that's not at all suspicious officer. There's a convenient 100 calorie scoop and the bag is resealable, so that's nice. There's even a line at the bottom that reminds you to purchase more. Taste is subjective, but I like the flavor of the Raspberry Buzz the most. The sticks offer a variety pack. But if you are like me and want to stick with one flavor, just get the big bag. I don't know if it ultimately saves money or whatever--this product is pretty expensive, but is on par with similar nutrition--but it just more convenient. Plus there's caffeine which I need injected into my 40 year old veins. Tailwind offers non-caffeinated flavors I believe.

This is hands-down the best endurance drink available. Tastes fantastic and doesn’t clump up like the others.

I love TailWind, Is a great product when you need that extra kick for your bike training. Tastes awesome, not to sweet and is real good on your stomach. Overall an excellent, excellent product.

This is some great stuff. I have tried almost all flavors, but I prefer the caffeinated raspberry. This stuff is not thick.on your pallet and goes down like water. I use this for long runs: 1/2 marathons and more each week. I just take sips every half mile and it keeps me from being thirsty, gives me a little energy boost and never causes any GI issues. I drink alot....on a 19 mile run I will consume 3L of this stuff....but no cramps, no aftertaste, and no heavy sputum during the run. It really keeps gas in your tank at the end of a long push...I really believe in this product and view it to be better that Gatorade endurance ir other products that claim to do the same thing or more.....I highly recommend to add to your greater than 1 hour workouts.

This is my current favorite intra workout fuel. I purchased this to use during my long runs and it has made a huge difference. The flavor is very light which is nice on the stomach during long hard runs. I sip it throughout my whole run and its the perfect amount of calories to give you energy without any stomach upset. My only negative comment is that the flavor does get stale by the end of my long run, but that is a consistent problem for any workout beverage (if you know you know). I also use before my gym sessions in the morning. I don't have time to eat before my workouts but drinking tailwind while I workout has made a major difference in my energy and performance.

I finally had to try Tailwind after all the hype from the huge Trail And Ultra Running group on Facebook. It tasted a lot different than I had imagined in my head, but I am very satisfied with it and enjoy it for long training runs. I have a very sensitive stomach, so I was scared to try something new. However, this was easy to digest and gave me no issues whatsoever. I'm not sure if it shows in my review or not, but I bought the caffeinated Raspberry Buzz flavor. It is less of an intense flavor that I was expecting and it's not something you'd probably enjoy sitting around the house sipping since there is a slight salt taste, but it's perfect for long distance running! It's not so sweet that it gives you a stomach ache and it doesn't have a bad after-taste. I still love the flavor of Nuun tablets a bit more for shorter workouts, but this stuff will be nice for super long days during marathons, ultra marathons, and long-approach mountain climbs since it has some calories in it. I needed some calories that Nuun didn't offer and I hate eating Gu products on the run. As such, this stuff is perfect for me. I'm very happy with it. It's easy to clean out of my hydration pack bladder after runs too.

Ive really enjoyed my experience using Tailwind. Ive been using it the past 6 months or so to help out with longer endurance workouts for rowing, running, and now cycling. I really like the raspberry and use it religioiusly before, during, and after working out. Before I started using Tailwind, I use to cramp and would start to fade during my workouts and this mix has allowed me to sustain longer efforts. Another important thing to me is value for money. Ive used other products and I feel that Tailwind is better value for money compared to some of the others such as Skratch. The flavor is not quite as sweet or strong, which is a plus to me. Ive already recommended it to my friends and teammates and I will continue to trek on using Tailwind! Overall, I think its a pretty solid product for people looking to sustain longer endurance workouts.
