Hi,
so i've been drinking a cup of coffee between 30-45 minutes before lifting for some time now and feel pretty good doing so, however, i feel like coffee (even if it's completely black; just hot water and coffee) feels kinda heavy in my stomach while running and i don't remember running a time i was satisfied with either, when having downed a cup before running.
I mostly run a 5k, sometimes a 10k and recently 3 x 1k with 2 minutes of rest in between.
So my question is: what are your experiences with coffee and/or caffeine before running and have you got any advice?
