Im suprised that no one here actually knew that to be honest
Sometimes i used to take a drink before i trained at the gym called 'Enrage'. It definately lives up to its name, the amount of caffine in it is amazing and after one of them you will be ready to go! I wouldn't rely on it with you're training though, its not as if you can do it down at CTCRM is it?

You could probably fill your water bottle up with the stuff. Naa, best not to rely on it, after all its cheating yourself and proves nothing.

When i used it, i wouldn't call it cheating on myself. It was just used sometimes to wake me up on sunday mornings ready to train after a night out with mates. After having two of them during two weeks i decided not to use them anymore and just relied on willpower!
Something i can say, when training on a sunday morning, alot of my mates don't have

Yeah thats right, use your own willpower rather than liquid willpower
Also it helps to show your mates what lazy gits they are and how much you have progressed over their sorry arses

I didnt actually read the article JCAP posted but one of the main ways caffeine increases endurance performance is that it means your body chooses to burn fat over carbohydrates (basically), as a result you dont run out of energy as quickly.
Also, the mental benefits dont hurt especially as if running on your own!

Fat produces alot less energy than Carbs so running on fat wouldn't aid endurance but hinder it by a huge amount. When your body switches over to fats, that is "hitting the wall". Therefore your body needs more oxygen to breakdown the fats and your heart has to work harder.
im beging to think that a lot of people here shlould stop worrying about the science behind the training and just get on with it. the old fashioned way, who cares about where the energy and fitness comes from just as long as you get it!
I ain't worrying about anything, but i know what you mean, just crack on and run, or squeeze them 2 extra reps out, seems to be working for me.
(not for your sit ups though ) only messing.
It can help people mentally though if they know what they are doing is specific to their aims, they might want and actually do their training more?

It won't repair muscle, some form of protein drink with carbs is best for that. Whether it'll give you a "better" workout I don't know. May unnecesarily raise your body temp.
