Oh, hey there! Over the pandemic, I started getting creative with the different kinds of endurance fuels, fueling strategies, what to use, when to use them during other races of various distances, and the pros and cons of each product! Let's say that Amazon and I are besties since over the pandemic, ordering essential gym equipment and other necessities to turn my studio into a home office and a home gym all came from Amazon! I'm not sure what I'd do without them now!
Speaking of Amazon, I am crushing on their running apparel, running fuel & supplements, running shoes, and running gear lately. But for this post, let's focus on running fuel and supplements, aka endurance fuel! My go-to favorite running endurance fuel, Tailwind Nutrition, really does stand by their tagline, "All you need, all day. Really." It couldn't be more accurate. I drink Tailwind endurance fuel every day, keeping my body is primed for my runs. I drink the product before, during, and after m runs and on the days that I'm not running! I find acclimatizing my body to what it will need most for race day coming up in the fall is imperative to run a successful marathon!
In the past several years, trialing out different endurance fuels and strategies that work for me, I've had issues stomaching gu due to dehydration, and it's never good to rely on course race fuel if you can prepare for it beforehand; right? Tailwind Nutrition was initially made for Ultrarunners, specifically athletes racing the Leadville 100 race series. This endurance fuel was created to help adequately get participants of that race through the 24 hours plus event. If anything, that'll only be more helpful in terms of everything when the unexpected is evident. This is somewhat like what could happen in the distance, such as a Marathon! Best to be prepared during events like these!
I love how Tailwind Nutrition's Endurance fuel combines electrolytes and the hydration needs to fuel my longer runs without hitting the "wall." So far, it's been successful throughout my training to my next 26.2! And consistently for about seven straight months now since I've been using the endurance fuel product daily around my training runs. Another perk? It is ALL NATURAL! Check the ingredients when you order your starter kit using code 'runwithalli20' (all lowercase) on your purchase before the end of JULY! Grab your endurance fuel NOW and SAVE!
Tailwind Nutrition's new Recovery Build Protein formula now is excellent during and after my runs to facilitate a quicker recovery! It's Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, No Soy, No Dairy, vegan-friendly, plant-based runners! As an athlete training six days a week, with some runs being twice a day and conducting gait analysis sessions here and there as well, my work can quickly get exhausting if I'm not careful to refuel my body when it needs it! This article, "GOING THE DISTANCE: HOW TO FUEL YOUR BODY FOR LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING," by Christina Morganti, MD from AAMC Orthopedics, talks more about the importance of fueling for distance runs as well here! She's also a marathon runner herself and Boston Qualifier! Tailwind Nutrition's Recovery Build Formula has been my perfect fix to keep me limber and loose after more intense runs and longer runs too! Ingredients include organic rice protein with amino acids, coconut milk for healthy fats, and electrolytes to get that wear and tear repaired while restoring all of your glycogen stores that your body NEEDS for your runs. That's why it's so important to refuel your workouts! I must say, the salted caramel is super yummy. I have a primary sweet tooth, so that might be it. But if you do too, this product is for YOU!
I use my Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel all day, daily, to keep my body refreshed, restored, and energized. I use my Tailwind Nutrition Recovery Build typically during and mainly after my runs to promote faster recovery between my workouts and work on my feet and keep my body injury-free by replacing everything that my body loses.
If you're looking to add some natural endurance fuel and protein to your running routine- Tailwind Nutrition is an excellent brand to start with during your training! The products are affordable, especially using 'runwithalli20' (making your purchase under $20) on your starter kit, which samples the Recover build and endurance fuel products by Tailwind Nutrition! You can order Tailwind Nutrition online at tailwind nutrition.com or shop for it on Amazon! Grab yours now using code 'runwithalli20' upon purchase of your starter kit!
Please tell me how you enjoy using your newest endurance fuel once you try it!
