Evening Caffeine - A Triathlete's Training Enemy

"No caffiene within four hours of bedtime." That's a great rule for healthy living in general and endurance training alike.

Drink coffee, tea, or take any kind of stimulant too late in the day and you will end up going to bed later and/or having a bad night's sleep. You'll end up dragging ass the next morning and have a bad workout or skip it entirely. Lame!

The best way to handle this is to have a rule and live by it. "No caffeine after 5 PM" works best for lots of endurance athletes.

Of course, this is tougher with more signs of the coming A-coff-alypse.
