Ahhh...caffeine. I love you so

NYT confirms that the ‘drug’ we love the most is still the one to love the most. Brewing my first cup of the day right now :slight_smile:

“Caffeine, it turns out, actually works. And it is legal, one of the few performance enhancers that is not banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.”

“Exercise physiologists have studied caffeine’s effects in nearly every iteration: Does it help sprinters? Marathon runners? Cyclists? Rowers? Swimmers? Athletes whose sports involve stopping and starting like tennis players? The answers are yes and yes and yes and yes.”

all i can say is that i am REALLY glad it doesnt hurt performance…

I feel the “performance enhancing” effects of Caffeine during my 4:30am drive to the race… from there its all down hill.

Oh. And a nice large cup helps me… ummm… empty out. =)
