Tailwind Nutrition Australia collab

Upcoming initiatives and events:

 Zoom Talk for Rejoov runners (trail, marathon, ultra) and ocean swimmers:
To prepare for our Tailwind Challenge / More than a Run - Tailwind Nutrition Australia (TNA) provided education on using Endurance Fuel via a Zoom on Monday, 25th November at 7:30pm. - The benefits of using Tailwind Nutrition as their fuel source. - How to mix and carry a Tailwind concentrate. - Electrolyte & Hydration: Using only gels can cause cramps due to a lack of electrolytes and liquid. The body compensates by drawing moisture from the bloodstream to hydrate. Tailwind provides a better electrolyte balance. Here is the link to the recording: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/5ZypTXiESVfeN7SNsW2XN-mKAcPT3qGl7d6nAMIOE-X6N2fsJknYqzk-4rd10QTJ.JYHAnXQL8bzf8ETp

REJOOV EVENT >> “Tailwind Challenge” Rejoov social long run for Movember More than a Run – Saturday 30th November. Run 8km Boston Laps STARTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK near the zebra crossing. Starting from 6am (or 6:30 / 7am starts >> but try to loop in with others to keep it social) with a table setup in the middle of the park (see map with water droplets) where we are ONLY going to be using Tailwind Nutrition for the entire run. Leave all other forms of nutrition in the car as challenging as that may feel at the time. Many will be running 10/20/30km, (or a marathon). Gavin and Bek from Tailwind Nutrition will provide all the nutrition for runners to trial Tailwind as their fuel source during the run, emulating a real-life event experience. 

Tailwind Nutrition Australia is getting into the spirit of Movember by donating their time and product. If each attendee would like to join the More than a Run X Rejoov team and donate $5 - $10 that would be wonderful: https://movember.com/t/rejoov-runners?mc=1

Tailwind Community Spirit Award to be presented the next day at the Rejoov Christmas party.

We had a fantastic catch up with Gavin & Bek from Tailwind Nutrition recently and we are very excited with getting you all involved in what many have called a ‘Game Changer’ in fuelling across all running distances. https://www.tailwindnutrition.com.au If you’re like us and feel that you need to take in any number of gels, lollies and potatoes as we did for B2M recently, spending some time listening to these guys on how the brain and gut connect, communicate and work to maintain energy levels, will reframe these current go-to strategies we all have.

The idea with this run is to change our mindset away from our reliance on gels / other solids (which may not be working as well as we think) and more towards nutrition that is more efficiently absorbed thus avoiding the dreaded bonk. The objective is to maintain a consistent energy level across the whole run. 

We can do one, two or three Boston laps or five laps + small loop = marathon. We would love you to come and take advantage of this opportunity. For those that are thinking - “what the heck is a Boston Lap?” It was devised back in 2020 simply because Chris and others could no longer get to Boston Marathon due to the Covid pandemic. So Rejoov put on the virtual Boston marathon. 5 x 8km laps with a 2.2km second exit loop to finish. Boston loop | 8.1 km Running Route on Strava strava.app.link << click for the link..

RSVP to Greta. On Sat 30th Nov, please feel free to bring anyone you would like but we would like to know in advance of approximate attendance numbers BECAUSE - all the Tailwind you require for this run will be provided by Gavin and Bek. You simply need to bring 1-2 soft flask bottles (available from Tailwind, Runners Shop, Amazon, Anaconda etc), or a little bottle or at least a keep cup. This aspect is important. We will all be running with at least one soft flask or hydration pack or similar, 1-2 flasks onboard. 

Option to buy a soft flask $25 cash or card at Saturday’s run. If anyone needs to purchase a 500mL flask on the day off Tailwind, (if you bring cash $25 in an envelope to remain inconspicuous to the park rangers, they will donate $5 to Movember for every flask sold). Otherwise they have the credit card machine.

Please diarise this one. Businesses like these really support clubs of all shapes and sizes and are very generous with their time. Tailwind in our mind has always been the easiest to drink by far so the challenge is to replace our reliance on gels with this. Can’t wait to see the results. Thanks guys,

Chris & Greta
