Why we make our own

Made for the heat
Most sports nutrition is made for cool weather. We train at 33 degrees.
In this heat you lose much more salt but need about the same carbohydrate. Most products tie the two together, so we make our own, for Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

This is PWRD Club.

The story behind PWRD

Phong Dao crossing the finish line of IRONMAN 70.3 Leipzig

Finishing IRONMAN 70.3 Leipzig, Germany

The gap was never motivation. It was access.

I’m Vietnamese, born in Germany. In Ho Chi Minh City I ran with the club at 5am, already hot, already humid, and saw what people brought: paper cups of Pocari, watermelon, whatever was in their bag.

Everyone was serious about their training. Almost nobody had the information or the products for running in this heat. That is why PWRD exists.
