I was wondering if anyone knew of research of caffeine effects on running
performance. Maybe we could get a little group experiment together? Look at Matt Fitzgerald's book _The New Rules of Marathon & HM Nutrition_, in the pre-race section he discusses caffeine and acetaminaphen & beet juice (recommending all of them), with studies listed. rms |

So I think the test can be fairly simple: runs with and without
coffee/caffeine drinks. Fitzgerald's book mentions it takes a 'drying-out' period of a week for caffeine to once again have an ergogenic effect, keep that in mind! rms |

It probably has some effect, but I don't think it is a big difference. The important thing is if your body can handle caffeine and it what amount. Your (or mine) running abilities depend on our physical strength, not on caffeine of course if you don't drink gallons of coffee every day. I am not an expert this is only my observation.
