Tailwind Nutrition UK Latest Reviews

Arrived quickly with a lovely hand written note. I ordered the variety box with numerous flavours. I haven't tried them yet but look forward to. I have just started a half marathon training plan so will use when the long runs get longer.

great quality and colour, lightweight and warm

Love my free beanie hat, so cosy, perfect for the colder weather coming up and love the colour too

Easy to follow instructions, comes with a scoop which is a bonus. I did 8 miles running today and the taste was fab and kept me going. Previous runs without it have been a struggle so thank you. Highly recommended

Really tasty, sweet but not overly so. Used on a run around Mam Tor and the Peaks - after 18 miles it sat better than gels on my stomach with none of the usual sickly feelings associated with some gels.

Arrived next day, great service. Really happy with the results so far.

I successfully tested out my new "Tailwind only" strategy in a 50+ mile race. I'll now be testing it in a longer race. I love the personal touch from Tailwind customer service.

Have just used one of these sachets, nice flavour but you need to really shake your bottle as can leave a powdery taste.

I'm training for the Brighton Marathon and I tried the berry flavour on a short 8k run using half a
Stickpack. As an IBS sufferer I struggled to find a balance of hydration and fuel .... chewing sweets on the run did not agree with me and the thought of a sticky gel .... urgh! This drink was perfect. I sipped little and often as recommended. I also found I wasn't ravenous when I got home meaning I could take my time with stretching and showering. I made up the whole sachet and the other half is in the fridge ready for my next run.
Fantastic delivery time and I really appreciated the hand written note.
Thank you 😊

I'm a Tailwind convert of only a few months but am completely sold. The Fuel is perfect for me. I cannot stomach many products I've tried with a 'proprietary blend' of God knows what. With Tailwind I've had no bloating, no cramping and no unpleasant side effects. I'm taking the stickpacks with me to Valencia for the marathon in December. Far more convenient than bringing loose powder in bottles or baggies.

Brilliant service from Tailwind UK. Product delivered to me the next day. I have sampled the orange flavour so far in 750ml water over 14 miles. The flavour was nice and the product pleasant on my stomach. I had a good run. So far, so good - Thank you

Great service, great product. I've used for all my training and half marathon s this year with no tummy issues, love the taste .

Great fit and look, my new Tailwind beanie will be getting a lot of use this Winter as the temperature starts to drop.

The beanie is cool, colour is great and the perfect hat post race or training to keep you nice and warm on these dark evenings. Thanks again Tailwind for adding to your tailwind products in style.

I find the bottle so easy to use both on the bike and in running bag. They are a nice size, not too bulky and easy to clean. I would recommend.

Love this flask. Easy to get your tailwind in due to wider cap than my old soft flask made by another company. Squishes easily into running vest and easy to drink from while running. Will see how long it lasts as my other ones from different company not durable.

Having been a gel user I was getting fed up with the constant GU issues after every long run so was looking for an easy alternative. I bought the 2 serving stick pack to try and used it on my recent 14 mile run. I used one gel in my hydration belt and sipped little and often. I had no messy hands, no struggle to tear open the gel mid run and was pleased with how it tasted. I felt fuelled all the way round and the best bit for me was I had no tummy upset for the rest of the day! I’ll definitely be using this product again and look forward to trying other flavours.

Started using Tailwind on longer runs, so far up to around 2h45. I use 3-4 scoops in a 600ml flask and have a swig after 30 mins then every 15. Not only are the runs easier but recovery is much quicker too.

Really warm and a good fit. Thrilled with my new beanie from tailwind!

Finally found a recovery drink that is not only easy to use, it's easy on the stomach and tastes good too!

Never got to wear it. Husband stole it and claimed it has his. He would give it 5 stars as well!!

Good quality warm, cosy and it stretches and it’s a great colour. This is exactly as it says, In fact it’s better.I highly recommend it. My head will be extremely warm this winter.

Used 3 stick packs for my first marathon on Sunday. I was able to complete the marathon using Tailwind alone (with the exception of a couple of jelly babies towards the end) and got all my fluid and nutrition from it without any drop in energy levels. I was tasty, easy to mix and gave me no stomach problems whatsoever. Fantastic product and will be using it again!

Great product and service once again. Unfortunately the free snug offered as a thank you for my last review wasn't in the box!

Used for the first time during a marathon training run, used gels in the past but hated them. This was so much easier to take and could really feel the benefits.

Well made, great fit, I'm ready for the winter weather now.

I bought the recovery drink a while ago and forgot about it till now. I’ve just completed 16miles and thought I’m trying this today. I was amazed. This tasted great and I’m now buying more. Wish I had used this sooner.

Nice colour, good quality and warm... Perfect.

I've used tailwind a few times now and it really does keep you going on longer harder runs, nice subtle flavours and no acidity, Iv used other brands like sis, hi5 etc but this beats them hands down, highly recommended

Got a few running caps but this is my new favourite, great fit and design, what's not to like 10/10

My favourite flavour, easy to drink, no gut problems or need to take sickly gels. Highly recommended.

I’ve used the variety stick packs over the last year with great results. For my first full marathon I ordered the multi bag so I could have one flavour for the event. On the morning of the event I mixed my two 175ml bottles as per the advice on this site. Plan was couple of gulps every 5k washed down with water from the water points. At 5k did as planned but instead of a couple of gulps of water and throwing the bottle away I just tucked it into my running belt and used that bottle, not needing to collect another until 30k so saved a few bottles! The weather was cold and wet which made a difference obviously, no doing that in heat. Due to a serious injury I didn’t finish the marathon but did get to almost 40k with no wall, sickness or other adverse symptoms I was still smiling and was on for a very good time, for me. I had tipped my recovery powder into a soft bottle and put in my pocket ready to mix at the end. Shame I didn’t get to use it as I know how good they are.

I ordered the pack to start bringing it into my winter distance training. I’d heard about Tailwind from Trail runner Nation initially and as someone who can’t stand too many held without a gut bomb, it sounded like just the thing for me. I ordered it on the Thursday thinking it would start on a training run the week after. It turned up on Saturday which was in time for a trail half marathon I had on Sunday. I decided to jump right in! I hadn’t tried it or got my body used to it so I knew it was a risk. I put the berry stick in my hydration pack Sunday morning and got stuck in to a wet, muddy trail run. It was great! I was energised for the entire run and never got any complaints from my gut, I had a good solid performance and it was a great start. I’m excited now to try all the flavours and also see how the caffeinated ones fare one bigger runs when I need the extra push! Thanks guys for amazingly prompt delivery and personal messages with the product.

Worn this hat racing the weekend and it was perfect. Very light and the perfect fit. Best hat I’ve had so far

A friend of mine got me in to the Tailwind recovery drink and I was pleasantly surprised first of all by it's great taste. It is also ideal for after those late night sessions where I get home late and don't feel like eating too much. The recovery drink is perfect.

Used for the first time for a marathon, used instead of gels that I have been using for sometime now, mixed easy , seemed to do the trick, PB, no stomach issues Just got a a little sickly towards the, end, will try different flavour next time.

I’ve only started doing distance running over the last 2 years, and still being new to it, have tried nearly every product on the market to try and figure out what works best for me. Tailwind BY FAR has proven itself to be the most effective and tasty product I’ve found yet. I’ve run a few marathons and did my first 100km ultra in July. Between the stick pack (love the variety) and the new recovery product, I am definitely a customer for life!

As a long distance triathlete and ironman certihied coach, I can only highly recommend tailwind as a main source of energy during endurance races. Since I and my athletes are started using tailwind products, we eliminated any digestion problems, during the race ,we suffered before. TRY IT!

My head feels warmer and my cognitive function is noticeably better. Get ahead Get a Beanie. Five Stars+

I love my new Tailwind trucker cap my only problem is my 8 year old daughter also loves it so I need to buy another one. The cap looks cool is very lightweight and does exactly what is needed for those with a lack of hair running on a hot day.

The best place to start my review is the half way point at Kielder marathon last year. I was out of energy and struggling a lot I had eaten the bars I had and tucked into my sweets but I felt the tank was empty. I managed to get round but I was disappointed with the way the race had gone. I tried various gels after this but could nt get away with them I did nt like the texture or the taste and found it difficult to work out when was best to use them, I asked a friend for advice and was told to try Tailwind. First run out I still took a bar with me as I was sceptical that tailwind would get me round 26 miles I was wrong the bar never came out. I followed the simple instructions of how and when to drink and this kept me full of energy the whole way around and I have never looked back. I kept training with Tailwind leading up to this years Kielder marathon and the results never changed I never struggled like I had the previous year. This gave me a lot of confidence knowing that lack of energy was not going to be an issue and if I stuck to what I had practiced in training I would be in good shape. Kielder came I had my tailwind bagged up ready to go and feeling good. I remember passing the point where last year I had struggled but now still feeling strong, I ran the marathon 3o minutes faster than the previous year and also beat my PB by 10 minutes which was fantastic, Tailwind played a big part in this not only keeping my energy levels up but also giving me that confidence that I would not feel like I had the previous year. I have to add as well the taste is good and easy to drink I would 100% recommend this product

I've been using Tailwind for a couple of years now. In terms of the reasons I buy it i.e. for my sugars, salt and hydration needs it does the trick.
The sweeter flavours get a bit sickly 12 or more hours into an ultra so I experimented with the sachets. I found that green tea and naked flavours worked best for me and so I can order bulk items of this now. The sachets were still quite tricky to open on the fly and tipping into a flexi-bottle nigh on impossible when tired. For this reason I docked a star. No issues with the product though.

Used this on a long run this wkd...first time over 18miles that I haven’t felt nauseous!

Arrived within a day of ordering and great price.
Thanks Mike!

This is a comfortable hat and I like the colour.

The personal message cards are a great touch to the great customer focused service!

Very handy bag, great for taking all your essentials like your Tailwind Rebuild to races. It's definitely stronger than it looks and cleans well.

Having been a runner and cyclist for a number years. I recently moved to triathlon and was struggling with nutrition. This is next level. Use it on the bike and long training runs. Although I do top up with solid foods just so I’m eating. There is no need rhisndoes the job. And best of all I seem to be past the ‘gut’ issues win gels. Tailwind will have a permanent spot in the locker. 👍🏼

Used this product after a recent 20 mile run it seemed to do the trick excellent service as always from tailwind

Heard good things from a friend and pleased to confirm the taste and lack of gut problems are as advertised. Looking forward to testing further

Out of desperation, I broke the cardinal rule and tried something new in the event. This was my 6th running of a Saltmarsh75, a 2-day 75-mile trail around the Essex coastline, and each time previous I struggled to manage my nutrition.
The measured doses of the stickpacks were simple to mix directly into a bottle/flask, instantly forming a very drinkable solution. The taste was very natural, and my energy levels remained constant throughout the event. Hard to believe something so simple provided everything I needed, or that I waited so long to try it!

Loving my new trucker cap, only done 3 runs so far, varying distances but I love it, very comfortable, breathable with built in sweat band, great price and looks just as good when just wearing out..

I had heard about tailwind from other competitors and teammates that I met in races. I decided to try it out for myself. I ordered online and it was delivered to me in a few days. The delivery included

The cap is awesome. I’ve had one for some time now but I let my missus get a hold of it to wash and she tumble dried it!!!! 😮😮😮 Well that was the end of that one. There was no way I could go out running without it so just had to get another one!!! It is brilliant. It looks the part and I love the retro feel of it. I’ll never run without it!

I bought the trial stick pack to see if I could get on with Tailwind instead of jelly babies and home made fudge! It tasted better than I thought it would, and got me through my first long run since injury.
I was grateful for the caffeine ones being substituted as I can’t stomach caffeine.
And liked the hand written note too!

This is one of the best products, if not the best I have ever tried. Not sweet and sickly at all so it doesn't make you drink more than you should like some drinks do. Very palatable. Provides the calories and electrolytes needed over 2-3 hour trail and fell runs. No cramping issues or gut problems at all. They even wished me well on my next event!! Quick despatch too! Can't get much better than that really.

I used lemon tailwind on a recent trail coastal marathon. It really helped especially in the latter part of the course as it enabled me to run without the use of gels. I will defo use this again in training and for longer runs.

I've been using Tailwind since the beginning of 2018 when I began training for my second marathon.

I wouldn't use anything else now. I find a stickpack goes perfectly with 500ml of water. I recommend Tailwind to lots and lots of runners that I meet on my travels (I do love a chat while running!).

The customer service is super friendly and delivery is quick.

What more is there to say

Love love LOVE the caffeinated stickpacks even more this SUPtember. Used it in the SUP11City 220km paddle race in Netherlands again for the 220km race. With the new diverse discipline and changes with the course race this year, many athletes were rather confused on how to pack nutrition for on the go. Having the Stickpacks made it so easy to just calculate the calories you need based on the hours/distance that we needed to be on the go. It would have been messy with the scoops, but this Stickpacks; LIFESAVERS! Just take a few in your drybag and use what you need. It tears easy, pour clean and I just wish em packs were biodegradable too. Healthy body, healthy planet.

I used these for the first time at the weekend after a 74km Adventure Race, easy mixed, no special shaker needed, good flavour and felt alot fresher the next day than I would have notmally. Ill be using after all my big sessions for better recovery.

I tried my first taste of Tailwind this weekend on a 22k training run. I grabbed the berry flavour pack and added it to 750ml of water in my hydration pack. A quick shake of the bag was all that was needed to mix it in - which I was pleased to see as I'm a bit fastidious about cleaning the bladder and didn't want any gunky bits accumulating in hard-to-reach corners and going all icky (these are technical terms, you understand).

I took a small sip one km in - and braced for the sweet aftertaste you get with High Five or Nuun tablets - and was really surprised, as there wasn't a sweet aftertaste! This might be bad or good, depending on your taste - for me, I love savoury stuff so the slightly-salty-and-yet-a-bit-sweet taste was actually really intriguing and I took another sip!

I always forget to sip enough water on runs and come back from the longer ones feeling dehydrated. But not this time - I was honestly looking forward to taking another sip. There's a weird quality to this stuff that makes it feel like it's actually more hydrating than just water... I don't understand the science behind that at all, or whether it's psychosomatic or whatever, but it really did feel good. And at the end of a pretty fast training run, just one week after racing a half marathon, I felt bright and fresh.

That's good enough for me to want to try it some more. I ran a trail marathon last month which left me feeling hungry and thirsty and sick of bananas (my previous go-to as I just hate gels). I'm now going to train for my next road marathon this month with these stick packs and then decide which flavour to buy in a bigger bag. It's exciting - I'd love to finish a marathon with a grin on my face instead of feeling like I'm going to puke. Fingers crossed that Tailwind might help me to do just that!

Oh, cleaning the hydration bladder was a breeze - this stuff just washes out of the bladder and tube with hot water. I've hung it up to dry as usual and there are no little black bacteria colonies or anything nasty showing after two days!

Awesome

Used for the first time on my weekend run. Noticeably less fatigue during and after with no stomach discomfort. Trialling the stick packs but likely to buy the pouches for winter training ahead.

Was so impressed with how quickly the product arrived and by the personal message that was handwritten which clearly showed they had read my message. I have used the tailwind nutrition stick once for a 20 mile run and it was great. Will be using it during the Bournemouth marathon in a week.

I tried different Tailwind flavours at the London marathon expo but found them too sweet. A friend offered me her Unflavoured - a little sceptical at first as I thought it would make the water thick and bitty. Oh how wrong I was. It's tasteless but I can definitely feel the impact during my workout. The sticks are easy to open on the go and pour into a flask.

I've tried various recovery drinks in the past to help after marathons/longer runs, some of which cause stomach problems. Tailwind is different though! I bought it after hearing good things from friends and WOW. It's a real gamechanger.

Really impressed with rebuild recovery. Very light on my stomach, really pleasant to drink after a hard training run. I look forward to drinking it as a reward for a good training session. Both flavours are good but my personal preference is Chocolate. As always great service from the Tailwind team, I’ve just ordered another 6x packs of Rebuild to help with prep for 50k Dirt Ultra. I’ll only be using Tailwind during the race as it doesn’t cause GI problems. A complete convert from other endurance nutrition products all of which have caused GI problems. My advice to anyone - “Just order it”
There is a great podcast interview with the guys behind this brand on Trail Runner Nation, well worth a listen, it opened my eyes to sports nutrition.

Used for my 10k on sunday and not only did i get a pb my recovery was so quick after!! Very happy and definitely a convert 😁🏃‍♀️👊

I’ve using this in my hydration pack for my training for glen ogle 33 love it, tastes great even if it does make me burp a little

Last year I did 3 ultra marathons and used gels... but you get peaks and troughs with them...I also had a lot of toilet stops !! I am trying tailwind as I train for my next event . So far so good. Keeps my energy up without any gutbombs

I came at this product with some skepticism! Having never used gels or anything other than some electrolyte tablets before. As my runs got longer with more ascent I needed some help!! Did some research and come across Tailwind mainly through good feedback from US ultra trail runners on FB. So I thought I'd give them a try. Tried the selection pack and I loved the taste and they worked really well giving energy when I needed it. No gut issues. Think I need more than 1 per hour when doing a lot of climbing so its important to use them in your training to dial in the consumption rate. I'm doing a 50 mile hill race in a couple of weeks and i'll be relying on Tailwind.
Things I noticed : first time i used them I needed to pee a lot but maybe I was still well hydrated.
The stickpacks are sometimes difficult to open on the fly. I love all the flavours and I've re-ordered the selection pack .

I really rate Tailwind to support me during long ultra’s. I used it as my primary fuel source during this years Badwater135 and it was very good to me - I had a great race, it was easy on my stomach during extreme heat and by alternating flavours I never got bored.. I’m sure it was one of the main reasons I was able to complete the distance with a smile on my face. I’d recommend it to anyone, the Tea Tree one works a treat too - never got bored of that one.

Easy to mix and easy to drink, I felt surisingly brilliant shortly after a hard run which I had anticipated might knock me a bit sideways. The vanilla and chocolate flavours are both surprisingly tasty for a recovery drink mixed with water, which I usually find very difficult to drink. I'll be buying more as soon as I've run out

Tried this product following a recommendation from a running colleague. Have tried gels on my long runs but they didn’t work for me so I tried Tailwind and wasn’t disappointed. The 2 serving pack kept me going on a recent trail weekend and I didn’t need to take any additional snacks. The taste is very pleasant and I felt fully energised during my runs.

I have used Tailwind for a number of endurance events now with the most recent being the Brutal Extreme Triathlon (Ironman distance) and it never fails to impress me, the only time in the last 3 years I haven’t used it was for a relatively short 38 miler and I blew up. It’s the dogs danglies!!
Oh and the customer service is second to none!! Thanks for an ace product

In every way. I love this nutrition. It works and dos net upset my stomach as gels do. The service matches the product. Excellent, quick and so friendly. Thank you

Awesome product only just started using it but already finding it so much better than gels, so will highly recommended this to anyone, and also tailwind for their excellent customer service

Top level service, nice touch with the handwritten note. Great product - as someone who usually needs to eat regularly, this left me feeling comfortable and with plenty of energy throughout my event, without having a full stomach! Great subtle taste, and easy to sip on. 5*

Website is easy to navigate, ordering the right product was easy. Ordered the berry flavour, 50 serving pouch. Placed my order Sunday night, product arrived Wednesday.
The hand written note in the parcel was a very nice touch, as is having your name written on the bag. Little things like this make you feel like a valued customer.
Went for my first run using the fuel on Sunday morning, followed the advice from the website, 1 scoop per hour of running, sip regularly throughout the run. It done exactly what it said it was going to do. No gut bombs is true as well, had been using a popular gel previously, my gut would do flips the days after, not with this though.
Great work!

Tailwind is amazing, every runner must try it!

Tried them for my first 20 mile run. Great, felt strong throughout the run.

This is my second time to review tailwind products- was told an extra something would be added to my next order, but nothing extra included when I ordered again, which is a pity.

I’ve tried the orange/mandarin, lemon and berry flavours now. Berry is the one for me. Great taste – it reminds me of Ribena.

Can’t comment on how well this works for ultra distances etc, as I've only used for longer runs below that. Works so great for me on those runs though. I’m a skinner guy, so like to keep my calories topped up as much as possible. Sometimes I’ll just use Tailwind as my only source but I have also used it alongside other nutrition such as Nakd bars. Works great like that too.

As others have mentioned, Tailwind’s customer service is excellent, shipping is fast, and the personal touch adds another reason to buy from a company that actually cares about you and the quality of the product.

Excellent product. Used for the first time on a 30 miler and had no problems with it at all. Also did not get any drop off in energy which generally happens when using gels. Great service as well from Tailwind, delivery arrived promptly and with a hand written note which was a nice touch. Thank you

First time using the Rebuild Recovery Drink, great taste and seen me through until I could eat a proper meal, exactly what I needed after a long ride.. Be great to see these in multi serving bags..

Can't get enough of this product
Been injured for a yr with bad back so havnt used
So glad to be running again using tailwind I even use at work some days

Started using tailwind after experiencing bad gut pain from gels during long runs. Tried tailwind and was genuinely surprised that I had no gut pain. Since then I have used tailwind and most recently used it for a 100 mile ultra with no side effects.

Previously I ran without drinking while running. But with Tailwind that changed. It really keeps you hydrated and you also give your body some calories. Ran during summer when it was really hot and had no problems at all.

I’ve been through gels, sweets, beans etc and absolutely nothing gives you the constant energy of Tailwind. Because you use it throughout exercise you don’t feel a lull at all will now never use anything else

I just did a trail marathon on the weekend and I only consumed this energy powder (naked falv), I got around in a good time and felt good no gut issues. I have a 50mile event coming up and I will be using this powder again!

I just did a trail marathon on the weekend and I only consumed this energy powder (naked falv), I got around in a good time and felt good no gut issues. I have a 50mile event coming up and I will be using this powder again!

First time using in training ran 20 miles taking two sips every 15 mins felt energised each time can’t wait for next long run

I have been using Tailwind since March 2018 and am now not using gels during any of my long training runs and races marathon distance and above. I competed in a 24 hour run in June and Tailwind was my main source of hydration. Fantastic product, subtle flavour perfect for long endurance events. . It works. Simple

You can never have enough neck warmers! And the tailwind ones are colourful and fun. I have one, my daughter and her boyfriend loved it so I bought them one each.

I've yet to try this but the customer service and delivery time was fantastic

I tried this for the first time on my long run last weekend, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't very lemony but apart from that ok. The customer service and delivery time was fantastic.

Started using it for sportives very good

I was told about Tailwind by a fellow triathlete who has used it during his iron man events. I knew my triathlon over Helvellyn would be a really good test for the product and me. I was really impressed by the swift delivery, the time take with the peronalised card wishing me well for my next event. Then there was the magical powered in the Bag, I found it easy to easy to drink, great flavor, and easy on the stomach. I didn't suffer from any cramps, or energy loss during the 5hr event. I high recommend this produced for any endurance event and training, I will put this at the top of my need to pack list.

First time I have tried tailwind for race. Sipped the non caffeine before the start, given the nerves it didn't upset my stomach which is unusual. Managed a PB on the swim

The berry flavour is mild but very good. Gentle but effective - I have used it before runs to set me up for a strong start and during runs to keep me going. I really like it.

It does its job well, and looks great too!

Been running marathons and Ironman for a number of years, very middle of the pack. However always struggled post event as usually eat rubbish or come down with colds. Recommended Tailwind Recovery and used at the weekend after trail half marathon. Taste may take getting used to (vanilla) but was not dislikable) but wow does it pack a punch. Drunk within 30 mins of finishing and didn't need anything else for a few hours. Very filling and felt great. Definitely use it for all 2 hr + runs and no more eating badly after runs. Strongly recommend. Game changer for me.

I am really impressed with this product! The delivery was very fast and I received my order the next day. I heard a lot of good things about Tailwind and I wanted to try it. I have a marathon coming up in 5 weeks and I wanted something that is going to give me energy. I tried Tailwind out on a 21 mile run and I found it really worked! It didn't seem to give me any stomach issues and it seemed to give me a lot of energy. I had one stickpack of Tailwind and plus one gel which got me through 21 miles.

I gave the chocolate flavour a try during my marathon training and I was really impressed with it. This is the best tasting recovery drink I've ever had and my legs didn't feel fatigued the next day after the long hilly runs. Would definitely recommend it and can't wait until we can buy it in the bigger packs.

Love this stuff - no stomach issues, good flavours, caffeine included, easy to drink. Makes the step up to running ultras easier as one less thing to think about

I am really impressed with this product, I have used it recently on a long 100+ bike ride.
I have several left which I will be using on Ironman Wales .
It mixes really easy , tastes great and provides constant support throughout..
I will definitely recommend this product and return for more in the near future..
Keep up the good work

I’m not sure that I can tell any difference in the effect on me between the caffeinated and nNon-caffeinated versions but they both enable me to run longer and further without feeling hungry or cramping up

I bought a couple of these flasks to supplement two other brand ones which I have for my running vest. They were actually bought specifically for an ultra marathon I was doing so that I could put dry Tailwind in them, compress in my vest pocket, and then fill up with water at an aid station.

That bit all worked brilliantly. The dry powder in the flasks compressed down very well. I used my two original flasks to begin with then compressed the empty ones and stuck in my vest when I switched to the Tailwind ones...

The issue though is the shape. They are wider than my others and it was a real struggle to get them into the chest pockets of my Salomon vest. They went in eventually.

The solution might be to put the bottles in the vest pockets before adding water... but that could be messy, and means taking the vest off.

Anyway, shape aside, these are great quality Hydrapak made flasks. They work excellently by compressing as you drink. I'd buy again.

Just received my first order. Excellent personalised service , using the product at present with the GNR on the horizon. I’ll review product performance in due course

Its early days yet for me as i have only used it 3 times so far but i have noticed an improvement in consistency of my performance and reduced tiredness at the end of a run which is quite exciting really!. The test will come during my first race using the product.

I've just completed an Ultra adventure race, "Quest 24". It was an 80km cycle, 14km run over carrauntoohil (Ireland's highest mountain), 113km cycle (with some of Ireland's toughest climbs),12km kayak and a 35km mountain run. I completed it with 4hrs to spare in a time of 19hrs 50mins. I used Tailwind as part of my race nutrition and it was an integral part of my fuelling strategy. At no point during the event did I feel hungry or craved sugar, but I made sure to eat solid food regardless. Tailwind in my opinion kept my body balanced and fuelled. Even though I had used it in training it really was a game changer for me in a race setting & I believe has contributed to my recovery over the last few days.. Tailwind will be my fuel of choice for future events.

This is my second batch of tailwind,did numerous training sessions on first batch and completed LCW Wales using it. Fantastic product, great on the stomach and real easy to mix. Lovely friendly message welcoming me to tailwind and wishing me good luck on my upcoming IRONMAN event, really nice touch. Have already recommended this product to several people and will continue to recommend.

Having heard great reviews of tailwind and with its no gut bombs tag line I decided to give it a try.
Im a long distance triathlete and usually use a combination of both energy drink and bars/gels, but often on the longer training sessions or the events themselves I find it all a bit sweet and sickly and end up with GI issues.

I recently purchased the starter pack and tried it on a 6 Hr 100 mile ride. Using a 2 serving stick pack per hour it seemed to fuel me well and at no point felt hungry. The taste is suttle and light not too sweet and mixes extremely well, i particularly liked the berry and raspberry buzz flavours.
I have Ironman Wales next month and will be definitely be using tailwind to fuel my day.
Great company, excellent customer service and an awesome product! I would certainly recommend this product to a friend.

This is the second time I've purchased from tailwind and this time I had a friend who wanted me to order for him too, so one bag was for me, the other for him....I bang on about tailwind all the time so he knew he was getting a great product for his marathon training. Obviously I love it as I'm a repeat customer and advocate of all things tailwind but more importantly for you to read is that my friend loves it too! That's a double 5* review !! 😁

A great all-in-one product. Makes it so much easier to manage these endurance races....one less thing to think about!

Tried a stick pack on a training run, loved it so bought a bag
Bought for a 24hr event in a few weeks, but used it today in a hm race and got a pb
Coincidence? I don't think so!

I was told to try out tailwind after I crashed on gels during Tenby Long Course Weekend recently. I must say that all of the claims of no gut pains, not sticky etc etc are spot on fair play and it mixes very well. I've left it a month to do my review as I wanted to use all of my product before reviewing. Some friends only use tailwind and don't consume any food during events. I tried it recently on a 6hr ride and to be honest I was struggling with hunger. I simply needed solids in my belly as I'm a starving bloke. So last weekend I did 2 loops of IMW course and took some small potatoes with me as well as 2 bottles of tailwind and I was sorted. I'll be doing the same for IMW in 2 weeks time. Just about to place another order with them today. Great product guys.

I tried for the first time on a 25 miler and it was great.
Used other products before years ago but my stomach always said no! So stuck to water.
Nice taste, no artificial aftertaste and definitely kept my energy levels up. Much easier than getting all calories from food. I think a combo of Tailwind and food will be my strategy from now on.
Thanks

Tried this for a 3 hour run at the weekend. Found it reallly helped with energy and was pleasant tasting throughout with no stomach issues. Will be buying again

Whilst I was stocking up on tailwind nutrition I decided to grab a couple of the recovery sachets to try and I wasn't dissapointed. Great taste and didn't feel as though i needed to eat anything along side it either till a couple of hours later.

Really impressed with this product and the personal and efficient service . Looking forward to testing it during competition in the coming weeks

Super fast delivery , love the goods . No other for me as this does everything and much more . I wish I discovered it sooner .

Did not have issue with hydration - just sipped away at various flavours of Tailwind. Need to experiment making up a more concentrated mix though...in order to keep pack weight down on longer efforts.

I tried tailwind a couple of months ago for the 1st time and was immediately converted. Having re-ordered I was once again impressed with the speedy delivery and excellent customer service I feel like a person not a number. Would certainly recommend

Tailwind is brilliant! I ditched gels years ago after struggling with the sickly sweet taste, the gloopy texture and the inevitable stomach cramps. It's great to have a product available that's natural, easy to digest, is effective and with lovely subtle flavours. Well done Tailwind!

It's a great way to find the flavour for you - mine is naked!

Great product, used on brick session 160k bike + 12k run. mixed with home made energy bars. No during or after stomach impact. Used new recovery drink also. Great products

Great product! Less salty tasting than the non-caffeinated flavours but definitely doing it's job. Used on my last 2 long runs of 12 and almost 14 miles and still able to keep my pace up at the end. Thumbs up from me 👍

Thanks to Susan and an added personal touch to my order of Tailwind Nutrition...an encouraging note and a surprise buff...very much appreciated!

Finally found the right nutrition,forget the gels and that gut bomb feeling on long training sessions,for me I don’t want to go out on a long training session without tailwind,a great variety of flavours and convenient use of the stick pack,nice to come back after a hard session and not needing to consume the contents of the fridge because tailwind has it all ,

After a long run I can feel a little queezy. Often a mixture of feeling hungry and thirsty for a day or two. Well I took this straight after an 18 mile run and was able to run around after my 5 and 7 year old! Plus it tastes lovely.

Recently received my first tailwind order with a really friendly message of good luck. Have been on a few long spins - 100k+ with nothing but tailwind as my only source of nutrition and it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend Tailwind. Excellent customer service too.

After being a convert to the Tailwind, i thought i would try the Rebuild as i struggle with protein shakes due to many containing Whey.
I was pleasantly surprised how nice the chocolate tasted. I felt re-hydrated after consuming the shake and it didn't cause any stomach issues. I am 100% converted thanks Tailwind!

Finally decided to go long with training for a 50 mile ultra next year and try tailwind after watching the Ginger Runner recommend it. Did a 15 mile 2 hour 15 min run while sipping tailwind green tea, it may be that I ran slow but got to 11 miles and felt great which is new to me! Early days and will test the other stick packs but liking the initial signs. Not too gloopy and flavour not too strong mixed with 500ml hand held bottle on a 15 mile 700ft gain trail run. Lots of testing to do but will persevere and think 3 hours plus will be a true test. Cheers!

First time using tailwind product on Sunday's half marathon. I felt the product was probably doing me some good but found the taste very very sweet/syrupy.

wow wow wow, 1st time using tail wind on a 7 hour training session and it made some difference in terms of energy and lack of muscle pain during the training. Great product

Great service,subtle flavour of berry easy to digest.taken a few try's to get the quantities right for me but find it's great would recommend to others

Been, due to being on recovery from injury runs, unable to try this. However if as good as the Nutrition then the rating will be higher. Hoping that by the weekend I will be able to try this out & give a more relevant review

Looks nice. Just right for carrying on a short run of 1 hour or less for drinks of water. Would also be ideal for Recovery Drink

This is the first time I have used this recovery drink and I was a little unsure about the flavour but I think it is because it is not as sweet as other recovery drink I have used which is obviously better. It was very easy to drink and mixed up well so all in all I would recommend it but I feel I need to try it a few more times first but I will continue to use it along with the Tailwind hydration drink which I love ! Thank you . Marie

Not used yet, however I am disappointed that an email sent to the "Contact Us" option has not been answered, expected more from Tailwind

I needed the batch tested product to comply with anti-doping standards. The service I received was quick, friendly and satisfying.
The powder makes an easy to use sports drink with neutral taste.
The scoop measuring spoon is great to get portion size right but too big to fill into normal 500ml water bottle so bit of improvisation required.
Would recommend.

A friend recommended Tailwind to me and its fantastic. Easy to use, dissolves almost instantly, no stomach problems during or after training! I've not felt hungry or low on energy during long sessions where I've just quietly sipped away for hours. Can't wait to give another flavour a try!!

As a lover of tailwind when I saw the rebuild recovery drink I had to try it. Knowing how well Tailwind works for me I had high hopes for this product and I was not wrong. I used it after a hard trail half marathon in 29 degree heat and felt hydrated and super human ready to face the rest of the day. Tastes great and texture was nice and creamy without being sickly. Thank you once again tailwind team. I will be ordering again.

Just tried Tailwind for the first time. The customer service fab and great product! Looking forward to incorporating more of this product into my training and racing...

Jsut after trying out the new Vanilla Rebuild Recovery sticks from Tailwind, really impressed with the taste and is really handy to use post race. Have used them after 2 races to date and can feel the difference the next day

This is my 3rd review and i just have to keep saying this has changed my life.
I recently completed Ironman UK and i used Tailwind to fuel myself around the course. I had no stomach issues. And i also have to add the customer service is nothing i have ever experienced before so friendly and contacting me before and after my races to see how i got on and to wish me luck. Thank you xx

Having been impressed by Tailwind Nutrition for hydration and fuel during longer distances and as a prerace I wanted to try Tailwind Rebuild to aid my recovery. I have been impressed by it (also tastes good, like dark chocolate) and will be stocking up once the bulk bags are available.

Only used once & unfortunately had to abandon the training run I was on due to a calf muscle injury (not cramp)
For as far as i went, I was getting used to drinking every 10/15 mins & felt good.

Bought my first mixed stick pack early this year but didn’t have chance to use then for various reasons. Have now used and am on my second pack. They are great. Flavours not too strong and no GI issues. Now using the Recovery drinks and they are excellent. Flavours are good and aches after my recent longest ever runs never materialised - and I remained energised for the rest of the day with no tiredness the following day.
These products really do work.

Tried it on my long run the other day in this really hot weather...really helped me keep hydrated and didn't give me any tummy problems, tasted really good. Will be using it on all my long runs...can't wait to try the other flavours...great product

Another awesome product! Great taste and easy to mix. I've struggled in the past with getting calories/ protein in me immediately post run. Other manufacturers products that I've tried either taste foul or are bitty or both. I highly recommend this!

Great product, not too sweet so easy to take for hours on bike / run

I decided to give Tailwind a try after I noticed a lady who I follow on Instagram using the products. I initially bought 2 small stick sachets from Run4it to try first just in case it didn't agree with my stomach. I've had issues with gels, anymore than 2 and my stomach is not happy!
After having no gut issues, not feeling "overfull" and feeling well fueled and engerised I ordered the 30 serving pouch in orange flavour. Taste is subtle and not at all sickly. I definitely feel much more confident about fueling my up coming marathon.
Service was fantastic, quick delivery and personalised pouch with my name on it and a hand written card.
I'm now planning to order the recovery drinks.

Great thank you

Training for a 24hr race so needed something to keep me going without giving stomach problems etc. have now used tailwind on 3 of my long training runs and find it to be absolutely brilliant. During a 6 hour slow run I used just tailwind and felt good all the way round without needing any other food or drink. Amazing product

The note with the delivery was a very nice personal touch that you do not get with other companies.
Thank you Susan

As my ultra running developed I needed something that would do exactly what it said on the tin. Tailwind does just that. It allows me to focus on the task in hand rather than when my next snack is going to be but mostly because of this amazing product I have been able to race hard and get the results I was chasing in two recent races and hopefully more to come.


Thank you for inventing such an amazing product that works so well

Both flavours are great. Not thick or sweet like a lot of other recovery drinks so goes down very easily after a training session or race. Looking forward to the bulk bags being rolled out.

Just used this for the first time; a great tasting product that also gives a bigger serving than all others that I've tried

Purchased this product for the first time at the London marathon expo, used it for the first time on my first Ultra, will be using it for all endurance events in the future!

Long runs. I do tend to buy the larger 30 and 50 serving bags by default as I find them more convenient to fill my camel back, however as my runs tend to get longer, it is not always possible to carry several litres of fluid. I can simply keep a pack or 2 of these smaller stick packs in a pocket so that when I need to refuel I just need to find some water.

If tailwind didn't work for me I wouldn't keep buying it. I can't wait too try all of these other flavours.

Very impressed with the quick service.Loved my personal note inside my order.Hoping to try out my sachets of tailwind over the next 3 weeks as I have 4 races.

Ordered the introductory stick pack. Was impressed by the speed of delivery and by the personalised hand-written note that accompanied it.

Went on my first long run (30m) and was very impressed with the product. Easy to take on board and had none of the sickly feeling I normally get as I try to force down gels.

Also surprised as to my lack of fatigue and recovery. Yes I am getting fitter but I still feel that tailwind helped with all the above. 👍

I had seen a few people on Insta rave about this but was super sceptical. But this stuff is amazing, worth its weight in gold! No tummy issues, keeps me going, you don't feel it work but you know its working because you don't feel exhausted. First time I used this I had a half followed but another 6 miles running home. I could of kept going and going. Great taste and you don't get hungry at all with it. Love it!

Ive used these in my training for ironman dun laoghaire which keeps me goin on my long cycles nd my runs very happy with this product

My TOF has increased significantly this year & my LSR’s meant carrying a lot of food. I used to make my own food then swapped to a new brand promising a lot. Bad times - my stomach was tying itself in knots after a couple of hours, impeding performance & making life miserable. After a disastrous race something needed to change. Few folk had whispered Tailwind. So I read up & took the plunge. WOW! Just got back from 6 hours on the Ridgeway, where I consumed 3.5 litres of Berry & Rasberry Buzz. Just had so much energy, no “issues”, great taste, wanted to run further - but no more left😂. Plays with your mind initially- you have to keep supping - and I keep waiting to feel hungry or lethargic- but no. I’m in my 50’’s and felt strong all the time with no highs & lows. I’m a convert👍

Dissolved easily and tastes great. This was the vanilla one

I've been training with tailwind, a friend recommend it. I bought the berry flavour, great taste, great product, you only notice when it's not there. I am going to use non caffeinated for the first 50K then the caffeinated for the last 50K, awesome product

Awesome product for long runs. Haven’t used gels in a loooong time. Contains all the right electrolytes too so no extra salt etc needed.
Would be nice if the stick packs tore open a little easier when hands all sweaty and head all goofed.

I have now been using Tailwind for past couple of weeks and am very impressed with it. Starting with the ordering and receiving of the nutrition was seamless and the personal hand written note was a nice touch. I have been using the stick packs in order to sample a variety of flavours which to date have all been great. I have done a couple of 3 hour rides and a half marathon using Tailwind alone and have felt great on all of the sessions.

Great stuff. I've worked my way through the stick pack. I used two sticks during the tough 56 mile bike leg of the Gauntlet middle distance tri at Hever castle with no additional food. Drank water on the 13.1 mile run with just a bit of banana from the feed station and finished strong. I used a chocolate recovery immediately afterwards and was amazed how fresh I felt the following day and for the rest of the week...no doms. About to place an order for a multi serving pack (Green tea)

Another quality product from Tailwind. Tastes great and is very easy to prepare and my felt good after taking it after a long run. Look forward to more flavours being added.

As expected from Tailwind, an outstanding product that does exactly what it says. Thank you Tailwind!!

Excellent item: stylish and comfortable. Now I just need to get it onto a podium.......

Since using tailwind I have literally not stopped running. Well that’s an exaggeration - ive done two long runs on it and as promised I felt neither hungry nor full. Just kept on cruising. In a month or so I’ll be running a 100 mile ultra marathon and I plan to use tailwind for at least half my calories. I will let you know what happens.

Kept me energised , settled my stomach and got the job done

I had been using other brands and gels to fuel long runs... with hot and miss outcomes and much immodium used. Since using tailwind this has not happened once and whilst I’m yet to go beyond 3.5hrs on my feet with it, I’ve every confidence it will get me through Berlin Marathon #poogate free. My only wonder is how to carry it with me on the marathon. I had contemplated using a 2l camelbak with 8 scoops of tailwind in it... need to test it out. So far, very good

This is an excellent product, the personal touch and service are not my typical experience when dealing with companies. Thank you Tracey for your enquiry re upcoming events. I recently used Caffeinated Raspberry Buzz at my last half ironman distance race - using only Tailwind. As someone who usually suffers from cramps during the later stages of a race I had no such problems using Tailwind which quite surprised me to say the least. On top of that - I felt really good after using it. I'd highly recommend this product and I rarely write such positive reviews.

Prior to my first ultramarathon, I packed a vanilla recovery drink to have post race. Once I had finished, I couldn’t quite face food but it was great to have the recovery drink to get in some calories and good nutrients. It was easy to mix with water and didn’t taste too bad - will definitely use again!

I have used both the vanilla and chocolate flavours, following recent 20 mile+ marathon training runs.

Both drinks are very easy to mix, and to consume, and you genuinely feel a benefit from having them. Considering how hot it's been during my recent long runs, I should have been shattered post-run, but having the Tailwind rebuild has literally done just that! My energy levels have been good, and I've not felt drained following the run.

I'll be ordering more, and can't recommend it highly enough.

Thought I'd try tailwind after a recommendation from a friend. At the moment I'm doing long cycles for a triathlon. Tailwind has work superbly well. It's difficult to decide what to eat when you get up very early for a pre-work training session. Now I don't have to worry too much because tailwind keeps me going throughout the session (e.g. 3 hours). Not only that but it keeps me going past that to the extent that I don't really feel the need to eat much for an hour and a half later which is very unlike me. I tried both the caffeine and non-caffeine powders and have had no gut problems.

Used Tailwind for the first time today on a 50 mile hilly ride with no problems,nice taste and not hungry at all.
Definitely going to use this from now on

Used this on a 4 hr run in the hills last week and felt a whole lot better afterwards than a 3 hr run a month ago when I used home made fluids. Going to continue with the experiment using Tailwind for the foreseeable.

Only tried this once so far but the taste is very good and so I'll be ordering more shortly.

Nutrition is always an issue with endurance events, and the last couple of ironman events, my husband has had a bottle filled with 12 gels which he found hard to manage. This time he used tailwind and found it a much easier and more palatable system with no nutritional issues at all (and he knocked 2 hours off his previous time!)
I have also tried it, and normally struggle with getting hungry, but have had a lot less issues with this on my long rides, and am grateful to not have to use overly sweet gels. It is definitely the way forward.

Under recommendation from a colleague at work and due to a forthcoming 100 mile ride I decided to try the tailwind products as others have not agreed with me in the past. Everything from the service, packaging, taste and actual use are way above anything else I have tried. I would heartily recommend tailwind to pros and amateurs like me alike

Decided to give tailwind a go after my usual perpenteum was getting too expensive, I need it for half ironman races and training where I put all my nutrition in one bottle and just water in another anything else I tried was just too sweet and sticky but tailwind lemon is just perfect and at a price that I don't mins using it for all my training rides too

After having a dabble with other nutrition slogging out long runs I just couldn’t find anything that either didn’t make me feel sick or got fed up with during those long hours. I stumbled across tailwind and decided to give it a shot. I’m hooked! I’m yet to get bored of the flavours and can happily sip it all day with no stomach troubles. During my most recent Ultra Marathon I solely chugged down 6 stick packs throughout the race. 1st place and a new course record, I cant recommend this product enough. Definitely worth a try!

I have been using another running based vegan shake but not anymore! This tastes superior in comparison and mixed up alot better with no grainy texture. Looking forward to logging some big runs to really test it out.

Having read great reviews about Tailwind and sick of using other nutrition products e.g. gels, energy bars, plus also remembering when to take them I decided to take the plunge and try Tailwind out. Didn't know which flavour to order so I ordered the 7 different Stickpacks plus the Caffeinated Raspberry Buzz multiserving pack.
The customer service was excellent and when the products arrived I really appreciated the personal note from Tailwind wishing me the best for the season.
Having used tailwind on two bike rides each about 2.5 hours long I couldn't believe how nice it tastes, plus not having to worry about gels and energy bars was unbelievable. I never felt an urge for anything else. No stomach issues either.
I really like the Caffeinated Raspberry Buzz flavour. I plan on doing an Ironman next year and glad to say Tailwind will be my main nutrition source

I completed my first ultra last weekend and used these over the 33 hot and hilly miles. I didn't get the usual dips in energy I've experienced before on long runs when using gels so will definitely be using these again! I especially liked the personal message that came with my purchase - a lovely touch. Thank you.

I carried this for 17miles today and it didn't annoy me! I usually use a belt with small bottles but was looking to try something new. It held well in my hand, didn't impede my arm at all. Love the ease of the spout and no sloshing! Just perfect.

I am training for a marathon and I've only run halves til now. Normally I use some squash in my water and a salt tablet but I found this was making my mouth produce crazy saliva. Tailwind was recommended and today I tried it. I loved it. A lovely light flavour so I dint think I was just drinking water which I detest. I sipped from 8 miles to 16miles and I really feel like it helped put a pep in my step. Really impressed by it.

I used this today after a lsr. Normally I run on a banana so as soon as I stop I am starving and usually the cravings are for salt and sweet! This was a lovely tasty drink, a nice light flavour and very refreshing. It took away the cravings for the bold stuff too. Really pleased.

I always use Tailwind for my longer distance runs but after completing Race to the Stones 2018 100k over 2 days in the searing heat I felt compelled to feedback. Irrational nerves meant I couldn’t eat breakfast and at each pit stop I just couldn’t face real food. I am in absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the Tailwind I had in my hydration pack saved the day. I sipped it regularly throughout both days along with water at the pit stops and it provided me with enough fuel and electrolytes to safely finish. I’m sure without it I might have been telling a different story. Thank you!

Same great product as in the multi-serving bags and mixes quickly in water. Conveniently measured - making it easy to know how much fuel you have taken on.

Completed Ironman UK in Bolton on Sunday fuelled solely on this product - plus plenty of water throughout the day. No other gels or energy drinks needed. My energy levels remained constant...and the best part was no GI issues!

I have ordered from Tailwind on 3 occasions now, and have total praise for their service, its absolutely brilliant.

I’ve been using this over the last 6 months - both Tailwind & Rebuild. I’m in training to run the Southern Upland Way with GB Ultras 200 + mile race and am really impressed with these products. They have served me well, even in the recent high temperatures so can highly recommend

I recently purchased the recovery drink moreso on a whim than anything else. I had been using a choc flavoured protein milk after most long day training or race days. I've since used the choc flavoured recovery drink 4 times now and all I can say is wow!! The difference the following day especially on back to back training or race day/training day is brilliant! I mightn't be doing the distances as some people here would be doing but for me I notice the difference e.g 2 weeks ago I raced a half marathon and the following day went out and cycled 145K had the recovery drink after each event and was surprisingly fresh on the Monday morning with no aches or pains!! So top job to the folks in Tailwind development! I'll be placing another order in soon as I'll be competing in my first ultra trail Marathon in the coming weeks and will be using it after that too, along with Tailwind during the event too!!!

Used this again on the velothon Wales this week end and knocked 6 mins of last yrs time great product

Really easy to use, very light to carry in your vest - and perfect size for a recovery shake.

Hi, love your product which helped me complete Trailwalker 100k last year in 23hrs 45 mins! Personal best with energy to spare...

Bought this after it being recommended by my brother in law. Did wonder how it would taste mixed with water but have got to say, it's delicious! It's helping me recover while training for my first half marathon. I also use it to make recovery protein bites.

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 have not had the chance to use the product yet but I am impressed with the service. Fast & efficient with a personal touch. I have quite a few events lined up including on organised charity rowing event at Biggin Hill Air Fare so plenty of chances to try it

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

Tried this after a recommendation from a friend, it is tasty and has a quick effect - recommended

Have used this now on 3 long cycles since I got it and it just works for me. No problems with the stomach and don't find myself lagging because the proper fuel is going in.
When I recieved the product aswell I was delighted to get information on servings and a small piece on thanking me for getting on board with tailwind and wishing me well with training.
My family is fully into cycling and my brother and mother are now both using the product so we will definitely be purchasing more very soon.
Also I have a lot of races ahead over the next few months and have a busy winter of training ahead as I have registered for The Race Donegal 2019 so I will be a regular over the winter in purchasing more products.
Thanks again,
Patrick McConigley

Having tried the stick packets i took the plunge and ordered a big bag of one of my favourite flavours (which i have to say was a hard decision to make!)
My order came appropriately packed; i hate excessive packaging and in good time for my event!
It tastes just as great as before and the little scoop included mad eit easy to measure. I just LOVE the personal touches you make; name on the bag and little note - thank you so much! Your well wishes and positive vibes clearly worked as we came in as the 1st team, winning our first trophy at an event! Thank you so much.

My favourite bottle. Period.

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!

Not only a great product that does what it says on the tin ,but a really swift delivery with the items to

This was so delicious I nearly forgot that it was a recovery shake. I'm not vegetarian but think it's weird to drink another animals milk, so glad the made this vegan. I used it after two previous marathons and noticed less soreness and recovered quickly, I'll be back for more!

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

This is now my go to drink following a long run. After a few hours run on the trails I am really impressed how quickly this revives me.

I tried Tailwind as every other product I've tried has made me feel sick or upset my stomach which has really effected my performance. But tailwind works absolutely brilliantly and It doesn't taste sickly sweet like the others! I recently completed the Hever Castle Marathon (my first marathon) in over 30 degrees and used Tailwind throughout. Despite the high temperature and the hilly course, it kept my energy levels high and I didn't fatigue like I have in previous races. Nor did I suffer with any kind of stomach upset or discomfort! This stuff really works!!
And the customer service is brilliant too! Highly recommended!

Having tried the stickpacks which were very convenient and have saved me having GI issues on my last few ultras, I decided to get a big bag of my favourite flavours. I have found Tailwind to be satisfying, good range of flavours which don't taste synthetic and I actually look forward to drinking it on the run/bike. So it has helped me meet my energy and hydration needs all in one. I also appreciate the follow-up you get about races and friendly notes with each order.

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 have lots of caps and I run lots of Ultras. I think this cap is extremely comfortable and light weight. I wish tailwind have more designs! Well done for producing such a great product. Thank you Tailwind!

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.

I tried the stick packs but needed something for my ultra training. This has done the job enough for all my long runs. I’ve not needed anything else had no stomach problems and it’s ease of use for portion sizes has made the training a lot easier. My only problem now it what event to do next!

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.

Firstly the support and advice from Ryan at Tailwind was excellent, no pressure to buy and no sales pitch he just told me about the product and we both have ultra events in common, even advice on race nutrition was given. Secondly the service was fantastic, I couldn't believe how quickly my order arrived. Lastly but most importantly, I've used tailwind on a few long cycles and a long run. I felt great, no cramp or hunger, so my mind was more focussed on what I was doing. I also think it contributed to recovery aswell as I wasn't dehydrated when I got home. This I know will be a game changer for me I Quest 24, which is a 24hr adventure race and next year in my first Ironman. Tailwind you have a customer for life . The only criticism I have is that if you soil any, it's very sticky so don't spill it...drink it.

Cannot recommend Tailwind high enough, all my training has been fuelled by it, green tea deffo my favourite. Thanks for a great product, and brilliant customer service

I have only tasted the chocolate flavour so far but it beats any other recovery shake I've tasted previously - it really does taste like a lovely rich chocolate milkshake. I'll definitely be ordering more #delicious

It really does work for a full marathon with sticky horrid gels. keep up the great work!!

My order was fulfilled within an hour, and the starter pack was through my door the following day! Haven't yet actually tried the product -- will let you know how I get on with it! Thanks.

I have only tried the lemon flavour so far and really think it helped me with a 15 mile run on a very hot and sunny day, I find jelly babies to heavy whilst running and pleased to say my stomach felt great, really looking forward to trying out all the other flavours.

I started taking this product on Thursday last and find that it gives me an excellent boost during the hot weather. The caffeine kick is great in the mornings too and this has helped me exceed my current best round trip times. It tastes great too

I heard about Tailwind from some of my fellow club members who had a background in fell running and ultra marathons. They all had really positive things to say about it. This got me interested as I knew the type of events they participated in where quite extreme and without proper nutrition, would probably not be possible. I then saw a similar post on and Ironman group mentioning Tailwind. It was a week before a middle distance triathlon I signed up to and ignoring all advice never to try something new on race day I ordered a bag of the orange flavoured energy mix. I followed the instructions, mixed three scoops in a bottle I had between my tri bars and 3 scoops in a soft flask I consumed during the run. I felt on form throughout the 5 + hours of tough racing. This stuff definitely does what is says on the tin! I’ll be taking this with me to Ironman Bolton on the 15th July!

Easy to use sachet portion makes this an idea after race/training quick and easy hit recovery go to. Pleasant vanilla flavour that perhaps could be a little more flavoursome. Vegan friendly if that's a factor. Now a staple in my race day packing.

Great pack for deciding your favourite flavour. My fav is green tea, don’t like it normally but this was great.

Had this after a mega cycle, easy to use, not sickly or powdery like other products, definitely going to reorder.

Works perfect, far better than gels

Easy to use, great taste and works a treat will definitely keep using

The cap looks great and is comfortable, maybe a bit on the large side but possibly because no hair on top.

The product mixes well and easily with water, taste is a little strange but not too unpleasant so easy enough to get down.
I'm training 6 days per week with quite high volume and intensity so recovery is important. I use the rebuild within 20 mins of ending my training for all my hard sessions, I find I have an improvement in energy level and less muscle soreness when I use the rebuild so for me definitely worth a shot

I really struggle to eat when running ultras so when I heard about tailwind it sounded like a perfect solution. Despite some great advice from the tailwind team who were quick to answer my questions and offer advice I couldn’t quite believe I could run all day on just tailwind...well 12hr ultra in very hot conditions - I sustained on 12 sachests of tailwind alone, no food, no gels, no snacks just tailwind. It tastes ok, I had no issues with my gut, didn’t feel full or hungry at any point, didn’t lack energy, it’s easy to carry and use - limited mess.

For me this is truly a game changer, I couldn’t recommend it enough.

The service from the team is also exceptional - thank you!

The chocolate flavour tastes great! As always great service as well

I received my second order of tailwind, I used it when I was training for the London marathon and found it really good for endurance! Stopped me feeling shaky and stopped me from getting stomach cramps! The reason I’m writing a review is I thought the hand written note in my order was a lovely touch and then to get an email wishing me good luck for my half tomorrow was really nice and personal! Well done tailwind, you definitely get 5 stars from me!

I have been using Tailwind for about a year now and for all my training for Ironman UK. It has been a revelation for me after sufferring GI issues in previous IMs. The stick packs have been great for long bike and run sessions. Stop to fill your bottles and throw in a stick pack. Job done. Easy carried and opened and pour into narrow top run bottle easily too. The multi pack is great for trying all the flavours. Thimbs up from me 👍

switched to tailwind for my triathlons,TT racing and running events.
After being recommended tailwind by a fellow triathlete who also suffered with gut bombs/stomach cramps whilston the run I decided to buy a sample pack.
So I’m writing this review after 3x triathlons ( including a half Ironman) and lots of TT’s and half marathon. You can say I’ve put tailwind to the test over the last few months.
I have to give it 5***** no more stomach complaints, plenty of energy, a mild taste and no horrible sticky syrup.
Thanks tailwind I’ve already recommended your products to so many of my tri friends
Roll on IM UK Bolton

I tried the starter pack after a few recommendations, and was not let down , it does exactly what I was told and what I was expecting,so much so that I purchased the multi serving pack which I’m sure will be the first of many 👍

Having had problems in the tummy department with previous gels I decided to try these. They are not overly salty or horribly sweet and I managed a 12 mile run in the heat with one sachet in 500mls. Hope this will continue into my longer ultra training runs.

I tried Tailwind for the first time and am very pleased with how easily it mixed, how it tasted and how easy it was to drink during the run.

It wasn't a massive test (about 1hr 30 trail run), but it was quite hot and I only used Tailwind (no water or food) - and I felt fine both during and after the run.

I will be testing it on some longer runs over the coming weeks / months, prior to using it during my first ultra distance event.

Lightweight and comfortable, perfect for long, hot days on and off the trail. Love it
