SIMPLIFY YOUR NUTRITION
We created TAILWIND to give athletes like you, easy to use COMPLETE nutrition Nothing worked. So, we created our own drink, TAILWIND.

Tailwind was created by endurance athletes in Durango, Colorado, who have ridden Paris-Brest-Paris, RAAM qualifiers, Leadville 100s, and a host of other events. We tried everything on the market to deal with stomach distress, cramping, and that sickly off-taste from ingesting artificial ingredients and chemicals found in other drinks. We started sharing it with anyone who wanted to give it a try a

nd people liked it. REALLY liked it. We think that you'll like it too, so give it a try! Tailwind Endurance Fuel is all you need. Really.

Breakfast Club is on. Channel you inner UTMB and get down for this one.

Come start the day with us. Cheer Gareth and Chris into their 12 hours for KidsCan. Bring a KeepCup or thermos with your own hot water and we'll shout you a hot Tailwind Recovery Mix.

Cold morning, early start, good reason to be up - get warm, get behind the boys, and be there for the 6am kickoff.

See you at dawn champs! 🤝

From 6 til 7 only.

It's UTMB week! The biggest week on the trail running calendar. 🏔️

From today through Sunday, Chamonix becomes the centre of the trail universe.

If you're one of the lucky ones over there in person, go and find the Tailwind Team at the EXPO. Founders Jeff and Jenny are there all week and we'd love to see you photos with them!

And for those of us following from home, refreshing the tracker at 3am and pretending we'll still get a full night's sleep - who are you watching this year?

Plenty of Kiwis already know where their eyes will be... IYKYK.
But we want to hear who you'll be following....

Drop who you're backing in the comments 👇

🚫 drinking your recovery cold!

The cold snap has moved in, unpacked its bags, and shows no sign of leaving. So we made the Winter Warmer Bundle ❄️ 10 Sticks for the price of 8. PLUS a mystery gift 🎁 Yes, we're upgrading you with 2 Bonus Sticks!

Steam rising off your thermos, hands slowly coming back to life, the good stuff going down hot after you've earned it.

Still team cold? Bold. Respect. We'll be over here, cosy. ☕️

This bundle is here until tomorrow night, then it disappears back into hibernation. 11:59pm.

The cold snap is well and truly here 🥶 and there's nothing worse than being caught in 2 bouts of hail (this happened today), with soggy shoes, and numb hands. What do you reckon?

So we've been wracking our brains on how to keep you warm and toasty. We came up with this: our Winter Warmer Bundle. There's NOTHING that brings more joy than a hot cuppa goodness waiting for you in your thermos post run, workout, adventure. Of course if you like to continue having it cold like a crazy person... be our guest 🤣

Even better? Receive 2 Bonus Sticks on us!! Plus a Mystery Gift 🎁
Yes, that's 10 Sticks for the price of 8.

Bundle available for 5 days only. Closing this Saturday 11:59pm 💜

Introducing our next company whip 🛴🧡

Small print: this was 🎥 before Mark left for France.

Where he now is. Surrounded by these things.

So here's hoping the boss is out there sightseeing and not writing any off 😅

On brand? The colour says yes.
Road legal? We'll circle back.

Real question 👉 who's allowed behind the handlebars?

Let's settle a debate I've been having entirely on my own: hot or cold Recovery?

The answer is yes. Both. Depends how badly the day went.

🧊 In France, cold is the dream. An icy mix after a big alpine day, collapsed outside a hut while my legs file their formal complaint. (Weather permitting. The Alps have a sense of humour.)

🔥 Back home in NZ, hot all the way. Our winters make heating it less a preference, more a survival tactic. A protein + carb + electrolyte hug. I don't make the rules.

Same mix, same job either way. You just pick the temperature that matches your suffering.

Team Ice or Team Cosy? Settle it for me in the comments, because clearly I can't 👀

Promo incoming. Getting closer 🏔️

I forgot to mention the best bit. Watch me explain my whole recovery plan and somehow leave out the actual headline 🤦 Here it is: Recovery Mix does two jobs at once.

⚡💪 It's electrolytes AND protein in one mix: replacing everything I sweat out on the climbs (a lot, in the Alps in summer) while rebuilding the legs overnight so they'll carry me up the next one.

Most recovery products make you pick one or throw two scoops in a shaker. This is both, sorted, in a single mix. Which is exactly what you want after long days on your feet.

Anyway. Now that I've actually explained it properly 👀

Promo incoming. Keep your eyes here 🏔️ Signing off 🫡
