Making endurance sports fun again

Hi there, we are Nicole and Luca, the people behind typetwo!

Tl;dr we built typetwo because we got pissed off just enough to do something about it.

How it started

Picture this: a stage race across the Pyrenees, months of training (and an expensive race entry ticket) behind us, and we're standing in a shop aisle buying the nutrition for the race.

We scan the items: €237,67. Just on gels.

We stare at the receipt like idiots. Two hundred euros for sugar and water into a plastic bag.

Stuff that tastes like radioactive fruit punch.

Stuff we'll have a hard time ripping open mid-race, store in our vests while still dripping sticky liquid, and pray it doesn't cause us an emergency potty break.

“This is so stupid, we can fix it.”

After one year of tests with 207 amateur athletes, endless conversations with suppliers, and an average of 4 hours of sleep per night, we actually fixed it.

How?

We're not interested in building just another sports nutrition brand. We wanted something that actually respects what endurance sport is about:

• Leave no trace.
  A reusable flask you refill for years, no more trash littering the streets and trails.
• Affordable.
  Your bank balance shouldn't decide how hard you're allowed to push during training.
• Fun.
  We started running and riding because it makes us feel alive. Our nutrition should match that mood.
• Inclusive.
  Nobody's tastes or gut are the same. You like plain stuff? Mix our powder with water. You like oranges? Go for orange juice. Need an energy kick? Shake it with a redbull. Just do what is right for you.

We built it for the normal people.

We train hard.

We're obsessed, honestly.

But we're not pros, we never will be, and we're proud of that.

We don't do it for the glory, we do it because we want to have fun! Not the boring “type one” fun of going to a party, but the exiting, rewarding, and a bit crazy “type two” fun.

And this brand, is for people like us.

For the ones who clock out of a full day of work and still laces up for an evening run to clear up their mind.

For the parents sneaking out at 5am, moving through the house like a ghost so the kids stay asleep, because it's the only time they can train.

For everyone chasing the evidence that they're capable of more.

typetwo exists for you.

Thanks for being here with us.

With gratitude,
