Same here. Drank one cup 45 mins before a run one time and thought I was going to pass-out 5 mins into my run. My heart rate was WAY too high. Stopped drinking it long time ago.

Surely that is a good thing if it makes you a bit lighter before your run!😂

Same here. I would need to enter the loo 3 to 4 times during a race. And it took a while to notice that it was coffee.

In my undergrad Organic Chemistry lab we had to extract caffeine from several consumer sources. The two I was assigned were tea and coffee. Surprisingly? my tea sample had quite a bit more caffeine than my coffee sample/wt. This was forty years ago so I don't recall values or units.

Thank you for sharing this interesting information giving me better insight on how to tweak my coffee consumption.

Great info as ever 👍. Thanks SO much for the traditional *looking at the camera* approach again. The other multiple camera *one moment you're talking to me, the next you're talking to someone else* approach is distracting and unnatural. This is MUCH better .

Very interesting video - thank you! I have a question: You say one can consume 2.9mg caffeine per Kg body weight, but is this per hour, per day in a race...?

Runners seem to have a higher rate of GI issues and the movement is AWAY from coffee.

Caffeine on empty stomach usually kicks in after 20 mins for the most people. 300 mg caffeine is always better than 100 if you can tolerate it, the only problem is you build tolerance faster and it stops working after x days for the most people. The only solution is taking caffeine every 3-4 days, instead of every day. Unfortunatelly there are no good alternatives to caffeine, theobromine gives you mental energy but almost no improvement to physical performance, theacrine and dynamine are weak or don't do anything.

SO all i hear about these days is heart rate, my HR goes way up with caffeine, in a race situation do I care?

Shame caffeine gives me a headache and definitely de hydrates me so switched to de cafe and now NO headaches and much better hydration, obviously hydrate with Electrolyes and water not just decaff coffee, also tried gels with caffiene and the gut really did not like that idea either, so just because the science says it is good does not mean it actually is, some people maybe but myself no and most of my running friends and club members also.

Unfortunately Coffee is a big no no for me before running. Otherwise I'd need to go to the loo.
