Coffee before a workout??

Replies

  • Coffee before a workout would lead to me doing some extra sprint intervals to the bathroom, so yeah, that could work. lol

    Thanks for sharing! I've been drinking coffee before hitting the gym lately and have found that I'm more alert and ready to go!

    I work out at 4 am. I usually drink coffee before workouts only on non running days

    Absolutely agree with this...always have a big cup of coffee pre-workout (any excuse!)
  • Good to know! I have to have my cup every morning.

    Why don't you drink coffee on running days? (just out of curiosity?)

    I rarely run without caffeine! I can't do coffee before a workout tho, gets my heart racing too fast, but I opt for energy gels instead. The "double caffeine" is perfect for an hour+ run.
