🧠 Fuel Your Brain, Save Your Race 🏃♂️💨
Did you know your brain—which is only about 2% of your body weight—gobbles up roughly 20% of your daily energy? ⚡️
When you’re deep into a race and your blood glucose starts to dip, your brain is the first to feel the pinch. That "bonk" isn't just in your legs; it’s a total system brownout! 📉🔌
Why the Math Matters: 🔢
The Brain's Share: Your brain requires about 120g of glucose per day just to keep the "lights on." 💡
The Mid-Race Tug-of-War: Under intense stress, your muscles and your brain are fighting over every available calorie. Guess who usually loses? 🥊
The Decision Gap: When you're under fuelled, your prefrontal cortex (the "CEO" of your brain) slows down. This leads to:
🗺️ Missed turns on the trail.
💧 Forgetting to hydrate (even when your bottle is full!).
🧠 "Brain fog" that makes simple race math feel like calculus.
🤬 Negative self-talk that tells you to quit.
⚡️ Don't Let Your Brain Go Offline 🚫💻
Making a bad tactical decision at mile 20 isn't a lapse in character; it’s a fuelling failure. By the time you feel "spacey" or "clumsy," your brain is already running on fumes. ⛽️🪫
Keep the lights on! 💡 Sip your calories consistently to ensure your brain has the 20% it needs to stay sharp, stay positive, and keep your legs moving toward that finish line! 🏁🙌

🧠 Tuesday Trivia Time.🧠
Did you know that staying hydrated can help improve performance by up to 20%. Make sure you're drinking enough water on a daily basis. Add a little endurance fuel to the mix to jazz things up and get some extra electrolytes in.
How much water do you drink daily?

1 stick? 2 sticks? More?
We generally grade how epic our weekends were but how many empty sticks we took out our packs on Monday!

We don’t do "lowkey" and we definitely don’t do "relaxing." 🌪️
Just 48 hours of pure chaos and core memories with the weekend crew.
Monday’s problems are currently on "do not disturb." 🚫☕️

is back 💥
This one is a week behind but it's pretty special so we think it's worth the wait. A huge shout out to 🙌
Hey I’m Nicky Edwards - an adaptive endurance athlete, physiotherapist, run coach and mum living with multiple sclerosis. The Tokyo Marathon was the 5th star on my Six Star World Marathon Majors journey (and my second since my MS diagnosis. I’ll be in Boston in 6 weeks to earn my magical unicorn medal and 6 Star Finisher Medal.
Despite 39,000 runners I was even able to see my great friend and Tailwind Trailblazer on the course!
Of course I’m fuelled by Tailwind. My favourites are the Ginger Lime high carb fuel, the Berry Endurance Fuel and the Chocolate Recovery Mix ❤️

Getting nutrition right for a long day training or racing is tough. Keeping track of food, drinks, gels, bars... etc. and it just gets tougher as fatigue sets in. Are you getting enough calories? Too many? Staying hydrated? Just how many electrolyte tablets do you need anyway?
Tailwind simplifies all that by giving your body what it needs – complete energy, electrolytes, and hydration in a simple drink with clean, light flavours. Tailwind is designed to maximise absorption of fuel, water, and electrolytes while being easy on the digestive system.
Mixing with water Tailwind’s glucose/sucrose fuel takes advantage of how our bodies absorb fuel to maximise intake of calories. Once in the bloodstream, Tailwind’s glucose fuel directly powers muscles, sparing precious glycogen stores and allowing you to go longer and at higher intensities without 'bonking'. Tailwind’s electrolyte profile mimics what you’re sweating out, so you don’t have to take separate electrolyte pills to make up for what’s not in your drink.
From thick textures to sickly sweet tastes, most drinks, gels, and chews are hard to take for more than a couple hours; that’s where our endurance experience comes in. Tailwind is deliberately mild and balances just enough sweetness to keep you drinking with the saltiness your body craves while sweating.
Customers describe the flavours as “clean” and “light” with a mouth feel as close to water as you can get while still meeting your nutrition needs. Hydration-Pack friendly: dissolving completely on contact with water, and cleans up with just a quick rinse.
