Caffeine...some people can't operate without their first cup of coffee in the morning, and others hit it all day long. Some folks can fall right asleep after a full cup of high test (side note: studies have shown that this may not be quality sleep) and others are wired out of their mind.
Caffeine has long been a supplement used by athletes of all disciplines, and certainly not excluded are the endurance athletes. I've been reading quite a few articles recently that shed some new light on how caffeine interacts with our bodies. This is a great article on Training Peaks by Carrie McCusker out of Portland, Maine. Check it out and weigh the ups and downs yourself! Caffeine: How it Works For and Against Your Performance And a second article at Precision Hydration by Sports Scientist Abby Coleman: Why do athletes use caffeine? Now, it's time to go get that afternoon cup o' jo...or not? Cheers, Coach B.L.
