Tailwind 2 Serving Stickpacks

On Sunday 8th July, I attended and completed my first ever trail Ultra Marathon in the Lake District, (55k.) I have been using the 30 serving bag recently but needed something on the day, the stick packs came in handy. Used most of them and felt I had energy even though my body said different lol. Anyway, I got round this gruelling course even with the heat, just sipping little and often along the way. The best part (for me), was the Vanilla recovery stick. Had it within 30 - 60 mins of finishing and drank it on my drive home, (yes it did seem t be a bit thicker but no gritty taste.) Wasn't sure what t expect tbh! In the morning though I did notice I was moving better than any other morning after a long event. It was like magic, not sure what it did but it worked.
My humble advice is simply this,
If you want gut bombs, hunger pangs, sweet sickly feeling where your teeth feel like they were falling out from too much sugar keep using the gel stuff.
If you want t feel you have energy, a clean taste, easy t use, no feeling of spiking and keep your teeth then use Tailwind, trust me It works. Oh and the personal touch of a note with the delivery is great, thanks guys.

I got the multi pack after quite a few recommendations from friends to see which flavour I like the most. It’s early days, but so far I’ve been on a few 3 hr plus cycles (ok, I admit I’ve put a gel in my pocket, just in case! I haven’t used it though!) and have found tailwind mixes well and I have felt like I have good energy without feeling full or bloated. I’d like to try it on a 100 mile plus ride to really cement my view. The personal touch of a handwritten note is really nice and shows the company is interested in their customers. I will definitely be returning

I love this for long rides and swims. I particularly like the fact that it is not sweet or sticky in any way. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is that the pack is too difficult to open in a hurry

Fabulous customer service as always. I thought I’d try another flavour, so bought the Tropicsl Buzz in stick pack form along with a 19 serving pouch. The stick packs were for convenience for adding to my bike bottles for a sportive this weekend. Delivery was super fast and Tailwind always go that extra step with their customer service, thanks guys!

Brilliant customer service, fantastic product. I tried the berry on my 14 mile run at the weekend and it certainly made a difference can't wait to try the other flavours

Ran a 55k race yesterday using Tailwind for the first time. As I was using the race as a training run for something bigger, I was prepared to accept the consequences of breaking the rule about not using something new in a race without having tried it in training! I'm happy to say though, that I had no issues of a "GI nature"! Let's be frank here, if you're looking at using Tailwind then you know the kind of issues you might face, and I'm going to suggest they start using #FartWithConfidence as a selling point! 😉 I surprised myself with the energy levels I had during the latter stages, and as I'm not getting any younger or much fitter, I can only attribute this to the help I got from Tailwind.

I just completed 26 miles around some very rugged Welsh coastline in 28 degree heat and didn't cramp once and kept my energy consistent throughout. This was the first time using Tailwind and I will definitely be using it again!

I must admit to be sceptical about having an energy that does it all. But when my friend ran in the Marathon des Sables and said he used Tailwind I thought I’d give it a go.
I normally chomp my way through a couple of bars and a few gels when out on a ride along with my go to energy drink. By the end of the ride my tummy is often doing backflips. However, using Tailwind, there is no tailwind from me if you know what I mean. Really good taste and I never feel like I need a gel getting close to the end of a ride. Really really impressed.
I’m doing The VELOTHON Wales this weekend and I’m looking forward to giving Tailwind a really good trail.

Everyone is an individual, what suits one may not suit all. I've begun increasing mileage and time running in the hills and need to develop a more structured strategy for fluid and calorie replacement. So far I've tried the stickpacks on 3 early morning runs, without any other food other than a mug of tea, with encouraging results. After about 50 minutes running I've started to feel a slight boost in energy levels which has continued. It also makes me more drink more fluid throughout the run which I'm often poor at doing. In short, worth the experiment so far, on to the next stage of trying it on longer runs.

Having heard the hype I was interested to try Tailwind during my final training for Snowdonia trail marathon.
The ordering process was very slick and easy to navigate. My trial pack arrived quickly and was well packed. The addition of info leaflets was very helpful, particularly as I was new to the product. The most impressive detail was the hand written note with some extra advice. I work in a customer service / PR role and I have used this as an excellent example of how small details make a considerable difference to your customers.
Mt first run was a hilly 10miles on trails in very hot conditions.
Tailwind performed very well, I probably need to alter my mix slightly, just for personal taste. If the conditions are as challenging on race day at Snowdon on15th July Tailwind will really be put to the test.
Many thanks to all the team.
