This podcast includes a tailwind nutrition tip by Scott War Scott. You're putting me on

0:13.0

a spot. It's getting warm in the northern hemisphere as it is. We're starting to get into

0:18.0

those summer months. We're in the late spring or I guess early spring. Memorial days coming

0:24.6

up. That's a United States holiday for those of you across the pond. But it's starting

0:29.4

to get hot. So it's time to start filling your bottles with electrolytes and some nutrition

0:34.3

and getting out there for some of those long runs and testing how tailwind nutrition

0:39.4

is going to affect you on the run. Because you can't just throw in your bottles and

0:44.0

expect yourself to do great on race day. You need to experiment with it. True. So you

0:48.8

want to experiment with different flavors, mixing flavors. That's what I'm a fan of.

0:53.3

Put in a lemon and you've taken into a whole new level. I haven't put it on watermelon

0:58.5

like you have. Or tomato. She put on tomatoes. I do. Yes, you bet. I put it on a spoon.

the spoon and the tailwind, it reminds me of that. Do you really do that? Oh, yeah. Wow.

1:23.3

That's so good. Um, so, so get some tailwind go, uh, take the tailwind challenge. That

1:28.9

the tailwind challenge is still up. And I don't think that they're, uh, they're not

1:33.0

backing down. They're not losing money on it. If it wasn't good stuff, the tailwind challenge

1:37.5

would no longer be there because they'd be losing money. Sure. So go take the tailwind

1:41.5

challenge. Look at all their, uh, different flavors. They're different sizes. They have

1:45.8

the new single serving size that you can put in your fanny pack or behind your, uh, head
