Are you active duty?
a little twang to it
Have you tried energy drinks with running? I haven't yet and I'm curious if there is some benefit there with feeling less exhausted during the run. I've heard about caffeine being something you can use to reduce the perceived workload...
most of the top guys take caffeine pills before 10k and 5k races. It can delay the time to exhaustion slightly up to about 30 mins. Idk about energy drink though, i’m sure it’d have the same effect but those things are terrible for you.
Good info, I didn't know about the top runners using it. Most of my runs are sub 30 minutes right now at the moment so that'd be perfect for the time being. Do you know the caffeine dosage size by chance? I agree about the energy drinks, I don't drink them but maybe as a small boost for the run training I'd sacrifice the "healthy" of it for some short term running performance/training.
I have tried BANG and Reign. They both seem to make my heart rate spike right of the bat, which makes the start of the run way harder. Though it does seem to help with longer runs to be able to maintain efforts easier. I found that C4 pre-workout works the best for me. The Beta alanine makes me way to itchy though. Just thinking about it makes me itch. The best pre-workout for me is the 7 dollar bottle from walmart of beet root. Take it 30 mins before a run seem to do the trick. Only take it when I am really not feeling the run that day. I find anything shorter than 3 miles, any type of pre-workout doesn't help me. It just spikes my heart rate, and doesn't have any time to comeback down.
If you go to Walmart they should have RUN GUM in the workout section. I have used that before too, seem to do the trick. Main thing people hate about the energy drink thing is all the liquid in your stomach before a run.
I’m a huge fan of the Navy dropping board results aged 8 days and counting. That’s some sheet I’d love to get wasted on.

Not currently. Looking to go AD though. We'll see what happens soon. I made the Jan board
Trip to space?
If I win this you think BIG Navy would work with me?

If you’re a big energy drinker the Alani Nu ones are amazing but can be hard to find. White monster is absolutely amazing and my weakness. Even though they’re not the best for you
@Ghost SWO there’s a couple of preworkouts on the market without BA the Alani Nu brand always tastes like candy if you like sweet stuff and PEscience has a pretty popular one. I’m particularly a fan of the BA cause if I get itchy I know I’m not working hard enough ?

For longer runs (45 min+), I highly recommend using electrolyte tablets or powder pouches to mix in your water. I get Propel electrolytes at my grocery store. Ive seen a huge difference in performance and recovery after adding in electrolytes into my program. I sip on my water mix every 10 minutes, or so, for long runs and it boosted my endurance exponentially, in my experience. Normal Gatorade is fine too, even though everyone hates on the sugar.....but in the middle of the run, its actually great for performance to have simple sugars like that to boost your body
I prefer black coffee before runs. Not only does it add a little caffeine and danger. You also get to work on your mental fortitude.
@PontusPilot
That's really interesting, I never thought about pre-workout before a run, I'll definitely look into that. I always put pre-workout in a pre-weightlifting environment.
Nice, I don't think my run times are pushing the electrolyte category for recovery yet but I'll definitely keep than in mind.
I guess I'm trying to find a way to get over the feeling of, "I'm not sure how I can sustain this pace I need". My endurance is okay, but I feel like after intervals I didn't push hard enough but during the run I'm not able to push a pace for as long as I want lol. It seems like I have a small window I operate in currently that I'm trying to improve. Maybe it's just time invested that I'm missing and I'll get there eventually. Running progress is so painfully slow compared to weight training.
