Who are the people behind Tailwind Nutrition Finland
The importer of Tailwind Nutrition products in Finland is UltraFinn Oy, founded and owned by Jaana and Jari Tomppo. The company was founded in 2017 and we started importing Tailwind products in the spring of 2018 after two years of negotiations finally reached a positive outcome for us and Baltic endurance athletes.
Jaana: I am a public health nurse by education and a Master of Health Sciences. I have gained experience in endurance sports by working in ultra-running competitions, both as a supporter and as the team leader of the Finnish national team in the 24 hour running World Championships.
Jari: I have been doing distance running since the early 1980s. I ran my first half marathon when I was 18 in 1:15:07, my first marathon when I was 21 took 2:39:41. My records for normal distances are 1500m 4:05.99, 3000m 8:38.13, 5000m 15:07.8, 10000m 30:59.00, half marathon 1:11:42 and marathon 2:31:38.
In 2004 I ran my first ultramarathons and then I found my own distances. My best result in the 24-hour World Championships was 6th with a distance of 252.250 km, which remained the Finnish record for over 7 years. I have also accumulated a decade of coaching experience in various endurance sports.
My personal bests in ultrarunning are: 100 km 8:05:21, 12h 144,019 km (NR in roadrunning), 24h 252,250 km (NR in age group M45), 48h 373,142 km (NR in age group M45 and roadrunning).
Throughout my career, I suffered from severe stomach problems, and while searching for a solution, I discovered Tailwind in 2016, which I used in a few ultrarunning races before health issues forced me to leave the competitive sport. Out of dozens of products I tested, Tailwind is the only one that really works and is absorbed during long-term performances.
