I fuelled my last workout with caffeine…except that I didn’t use caffeine pills, just brewed coffee.
Unfortunately, the coffee I drink at home has a low-ish caffeine content. I attempted to guzzle down 3 cups of coffee in an hour pre-ride (135mg), adding a couple caffeine-boosted gels (100mg) on top of that left me feeling really gross. Not good at all.
Next time it’ll be straight up pill poppin’!
