I had been sceptical of going it alone on endurance ultras without a bag full of sweets, sandwiches and chocolate bars. How could nutrition drinks compete with the need to eat, despite the desire to reduce the carry load. But having delved int the world of Tailwind, firstly as a trial and then in earnest at recent UTS I can confirm that all scepticism has dissolved. The sense of freedom and the refreshing taste of the mixes have become a settling and comforting part of my long runs. The phrase 'don't leave home without them' (used in an advertisement, fadó fadó [long ago]) has currency here too.
I will be ordering more very soon.
