How to Mix Tailwind Endurance Fuel and Recovery Mix: Your Ultimate Guide

We often get questions about how to properly mix Tailwind's Endurance Fuel and Recovery Mix. The good news? It’s much simpler than you might think! Here's everything you need to know to fuel and recover like a pro.

ENDURANCE FUEL: How to Mix for During Exercise

Tailwind Endurance Fuel has everything you need to stay energised and hydrated during exercise: calories, carbohydrates, and electrolytes—all in one easy-to-use mix. It's true what we say: “All you need, all day. Really.”

For optimal performance, aim to consume 200 calories of Endurance Fuel per hour of exercise. Here's a quick guide:

• 200 calories = 2 scoops or 1 stick pack of Endurance Fuel

• Mix with 500- 700 mL of water

So, if you're planning a 4-hour session, you would mix:

• 800 calories (8 scoops or 4 stick packs) with 2 litres of water spread across the duration of your exercise.

workout if it will last longer than an hour. For activities under an hour, try our electrolyte range Rapid Hydration. LIMITED CARRYING CAPACITY? Make a Concentrate!

If you're heading out for a long run or ride and don’t have much room for multiple bottles, you can create a concentrate. This way, you still get your fuel, but with less water. The key is to maintain the same calorie intake, but adjust the water based on what your gear can carry.

For example, on a 4-hour workout, you still need 800 calories (8 scoops or 4 stick packs), but you can mix it with less water to fit your handheld bottle, hydration pack, or flask. Mix it up in a measuring cup for easy dissolving, then pour it into your vessel. You can even mark your bottle so you know how much to sip each hour.

Just remember: if you’re using a concentrate, drink additional water to keep your water-to-fuel ratio consistent!

RECOVERY MIX: How to mix for AFTER exercise. Tailwind Recovery Mix is your go-to for post-exercise recovery. It tastes great, it’s easy to digest, and it has proven results in helping your body bounce back faster. To get the most out of your recovery, drink it during the 30-60 minute window after your workout, when your body can best replenish glycogen stores.

Here’s how to mix it:

• 1 packet (or 2 scoops) of Recovery Mix with about 500 mL of water

• Drink within 30 minutes post-exercise.

For more intense or longer workouts, you might want to follow up with a second serving of Recovery Mix within the next 30 minutes.

Recovery Mix is designed to repair muscles, restore energy, and help you feel better, faster.
