In reply to Matthew. I tend to avoid caffeine energy drinks. I’ve never tried Redbull, even the smell of Redbull makes me feel nauseous. My friend used to pop a couple of ProPlus tablets before she had a race. It seemed to work for her.

In reply to Maria @ Maria Runs. They were quite nice; I think I struggled with the lack of fizz a little because I love fizzy drinks. Yes, it was a lot of caffeine, I was a little concerned that amount of caffeine didn’t seem to give me extra energy. I’m another fan of iced tea, I think it’s so refreshing. Having said that, I was told that when it’s really warm it’s better to drink a hot drink.

I tried natural caffeine energy drinks a while back and wasn’t a fan. Before racing I would always crack open a cold redbull for that caffeine rush – will have to check these out (even if I’m not running at the moment…).

Those drinks sound nice- I don’t really like fizzy drinks so I would prefer less bubbly ones! Although that is a lot of caffeine!
I do like elderflower in the summer, or just lots of iced tea (cold brew fruit iced tea in the fridge).
