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

Haha!! Arr mate, definately! Some of these lads make me laugh, sleeping in till 3pm etc. Sod that, unless theres some incentive - i get to hungry to stay in bed anyway!

3pm? Yep there would have to be some incentive, she'd have to a super-hotty mate

Definately, or at least worth it!

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.

(Sorry if I misinterpreted your post)

Fat produces about 20 times the amount of energy(ATP) compared to carbohydrates, it just requires 20% higher oxygen supply to be able to obtain it.

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?

Is it true that if you have coffee before or after your workout it will give you body more energy to repair your muscles or give you a better workout?

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.

dont worry mate their will be an extra 10 push ups and pull ups on my pb by the weekend! i hope!
