Any coffee drinkers?

I love coffee ☕❤☕❤☕

What kind of coffee? Like Folgers in a drip brewer? K-cups? 7-11? Fancy beans in a chemex?

20oz too much. 8 -12oz better. Or maybe 4oz an hour before workout to move your bowels, 6 oz. 20 minutes before workout while drinking water, too.

Black coffee is fine to drink, I’ll get a stomache if I drink the sugary stuff before a run.

Today, I drank the equivalent of 6 cups of coffee in a few hours. Then I got home, took a shower, and then drove to McDonalds.

Today was the first time I looked at the menu, looked at the Bacon Smokehouse burger, and then... ordered nothing. I went back into my car and drove to a supermarket to buy white wine sauce for shrimp alfredo.

Caffeine suppresses your appetite, and I can't believe I went to McDonalds and didn't buy a single thing. If I had that temptation when I go to liquor stores, just wow...

Also I did go to a liquor store after McDonalds. I was gonna buy a 4 pack of hard cider, but I just bought a 1 can of Foster's because it's Australian, mate!

It was just regular brewed medium roast from a coffee shop. Not the cheap & gross Folgers, like some local, hippy, organic coffee. :p

I realized there was a typo in my original post, but maybe most people figured it out; *1ish HOUR before the workout

I drink black coffee daily and often before I run. Usually two or three 12 oz cups. I usually haven't eaten yet though so it doesn't affect my bowels.

So I used to never drink coffee, then I drank basic white gurl lattes, but now I drink black coffee.

Anyway, I probably drink it maybe 3 times a week. Usually before workout days.

Well anyway, we had a really hard workout today; 3.5 mile tempo and 4 x 1 mile (interval miles...)

And after that I felt like sh!t. I had the runs, my stomach hurt, I was hot, I was cold, I wanted to die. Was about to start a “Go Fund Me.” It’s been a couple hours after the workout and I still have the runs.

Anyway, could this be from over coffee consumption? Or just coffee consumption in general? Coffee and really hard workout? I had 20oz black coffee 1 ish before the workout. I ate a banana with it.

I will try to answer your question with my humble words, but I am no one, merely an acolyte of the teaching of the Great Lord Stan. I find coffee helps me ponder the wisdom of Stan. Without it, I would have to sleep more than 1 hour a night instead of spending 12 hours outside my job each day contemplating the words of Stan.

Has coffee ever graced the Dark Lord Stan's lips? Stan once drove from Baltimore to Richmond and spoke bow chicka wow wow. This is the 221st saying of Stan, in the 12th book of utterance. It is known on this journey Stan got stuck in DC traffic and became tired. I believe that in order to safely reach Richmond, Stan stopped at Starbucks. But who can say, I am merely a disciple and not Stan his self.

Yes, I've been drinking coffee since I was twelve. Ask me anything.

Yes I drink a pot a day. Instant energy and poop power. I avoid it after noon now due to insomnia.

drink some water and emergenC, it’ll help out a little

I've darken that much per day before. Same here, I try to avoid it in the afternoon. Although sometimes I drink coffee at night to write essays.

I don't and can't drink coffee. It makes me jittery and dizzy. Plus, caffeine dependence is not a good thing, especially for runners.

I just have an espresso 30-45 min before I run, which is what, like 2oz? Black with no sugar, as it should be.

A study showed 3 commonalities of 14k people that had lived over 100.

1. 45 mins of activity a day. More exercise did not seem to have any affect on longevity.

2. 1-3 servings of alcohol a day (they thought this may have more to do with social interaction and happiness than the alcohol)

3. And 1-3 cups of joe!

I drink coffee throughout the day. A few cups in the AM and one before workouts. I even like to relax in the evening with a good cup of Java. I've got strong Scandinavian ancestry and they drink coffee like there's no tomorrow!

Don't be such a pu-ssy

Coffee won't give you the runs. That was probably something you ate. Just drink regular coffee. A little milk is ok and or a little sugar is ok, but black is best.

I run really early am, and always have coffee before going out on my run. Helps wake me up and also helps doing a BM before run. I'm real regular, like clockwork, no diarrhea unless it was something bad I ate.

Avoid the overly sweet too much dairy fraps and lattes. Those are desert, not beverages.

Oh yes, what a great post!

Every day have to start with the ol' Moka Pot on the stovetop with the "Cafe La Llave " espresso. Perfect for pre-dump running.

Not sure how you guys run without it.....
