"Works perfectly straight out of the box. Very good value."

"Setting this up was very straightforward. The Bryton app is not the most polished, but everything works fine. The Strava integration works exceedingly well with almost instantaneous uploads. All I wanted is a GPS cycling computer with no need for navigation, and the Bryton Rider 15 works perfectly."

Tailwind Nutrition is now 10 years young. In the past decade, they have pounded a constant drumbeat that their mixes are all you need for extended activity. I always have one bottle of water and one bottle of drink mix on every ride, so I’ve been riding with Mandarin and Tropical (caffeinated) mixes with great results this summer.

• Drink when thirsty and leaking like a busted fire hydrant.
• Don’t drink while deep in the middle of a Netflix marathon session or sending emails (unless, you’re also on your trainer).
• Meaning, if you haven’t earned it, you don’t deserve it.

Fueling for endurance activities requires training in itself – practice and experiment to nail down a strategy that works for you.  Dr. Allen Lim from Skratch Labs shares some of his tips after decades of coaching pro endurance athletes to help you find a fuel & hydration strategy that will make your body & mind perform better.

1. Eat & Drink Early & Consistently

Create a schedule for eating and drinking so that you don’t get behind.

2. Don’t Just Drink Water

When we sweat - we lose water and electrolytes - 90% of which is salt or sodium chloride. Between sodium and chloride, it’s sodium that is most important for us to replace.

3. Eat Real Food

While pre-packaged foods like bars, gels, and chews are convenient and tout performance, it’s important to realize that real food can work just as well if not better than engineered nutrition and is likely going to be easier to digest.  

4. Learn What you Need in Training

Competition day is not the day that you want to be experimenting with yourself or your fuel. So try different hydration and fueling strategies during training well before the big day.

5. Come in Well-Fed and Well-Rested

While proper training is obviously important, making sure you are well rested coming into an event is sometimes even more critical.
