The Benefits of Caffeine for endurance Exercise | DTube Video

Today me and my mate Juan went to do a few hard time trial efforts up some local climbs here in Plettenberg Bay. I used a bit of caffeine before the ride, just to see what impact it will have on my performance. I'm not in favor of caffeine use or stimulant use on the daily, but to use it now and again for performance benefits might be another story. I share all my thoughts in the video.

What I do when I consume caffeine, I get it from the most terrible tasting sources possible (not coffee).
I think coffee is such a social drug and that's why people get an emotional attachment to it. I get caffeine from an energy gel usually. Nobody that I know of likes the taste of an energy gel, so that way I know I'm doing it purely for performance benefits.
It's something I do a few times a year and in my opinion it definitely helps you push a little harder on the bike.
