2nd Wind

Cold brew,
built to
go the distance.

Organic cold brew in three caffeine strengths — one for easy miles, one for hard sessions, one for recovery. Smooth enough to drink before you run: no jitters, no crash, no mid-run surprises.

Why cold brew

Smoother coffee, by design

Hot coffee is acidic and harsh — the last thing you want sloshing around before a hard effort. Cold brew extraction steeps our beans for 16 hours in cold water, pulling out flavour and caffeine while leaving most of the acid behind.

The result is up to 67% less acid than hot coffee — a smoother, naturally sweet cup that sits light whether you drink it before a run or after one.

  • Cold water only, never heated
  • Single-origin beans from Cerrado, Brazil
  • USDA Organic — nothing added

Made to perform

Before · during · after
01

Match the dose to the day

A lighter cup, a standard, and a double. Pick the strength your session needs instead of guessing.

02

Settles before you start

Light enough to drink 30 minutes out — no heaviness or stitch once the pace picks up.

03

Five ingredients, tops

Every bottle has a label you can read in one breath, and pronounce without trying.

04

Electrolytes when it counts

Recovery adds sea salt and potassium to put back what a hard run sweats out.

05

Same hit, every bottle

Cold-steeped in small lots and measured by batch, so the taste and the kick don't drift.

06

Cold and ready

Sealed and shelf-stable. Chill it, grab it, go — no brewing and no waiting around.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know
How much caffeine is in each bottle? +
Classic is about 120mg — roughly a strong cup of coffee. Race steps up to ~240mg with organic green-coffee extract for hard efforts. Recovery is a lighter ~95mg so it won't keep you up after an evening run.
Why cold brew instead of regular coffee? +
Cold brewing steeps the grounds in cold water for 16 hours, which extracts far less acid than hot brewing — up to 67% less. That makes it smoother, naturally sweeter, and much easier on your stomach before and after running.
When should I drink each one? +
Classic for daily and easy miles, 30–45 minutes before you head out. Race about 45 minutes before a hard session or start line. Recovery within the hour after you finish, to rehydrate and refuel.
Is it really organic? +
Yes — USDA Organic certified, made with natural-process beans from a single farm in Cerrado, Brazil. No sugar, syrup, milk, or artificial anything.
How should I store it, and how long does it keep? +
Keep it refrigerated and enjoy cold. Sealed, it stays fresh for months; once opened, drink within 3 days for the best flavour.
Is it safe for competition? +
2nd Wind contains no banned substances — just organic coffee, water, and (in Recovery) basic electrolytes. Always check current rules for your federation if you compete at the elite level.
