Caffeine Timing: Endurance Athletes Take It Way Too Late

Caffeine Timing: Endurance Athletes Take It Way Too Late27 aug1 u 12 min

<p>In this episode of Fuelin Sessions, Scott Tindal is joined by Dr Lindsey Hunt, senior sports scientist at Precision Fuel &amp; Hydration, to work out what happens when one caffeine dose becomes six. They dig into why the 3 to 6mg per kilo window says nothing useful about a 16-hour race; why the biggest mistake Lindsey sees is athletes saving the last gel for the final hour, when caffeine needs 30 minutes to absorb and roughly five hours to halve; and how Precision models repeat doses against half-life and total body water. The fix isn&#39;t more caffeine: it&#39;s earlier caffeine.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lindseyh.u.n.t/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Dr. Lindsey Hunt Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.precisionhydration.com/us/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Precision Fuel &amp; Hydration</a></p><p><br><a href="www.instagram.com/getfuelin ">Fuelin on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p><a href="https://fuelin.app/podcast14" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Try Fuelin Free for 14 Days</a></p>
