  • Thanks for this info. Normally, I don't like to do without coffee entirely before a race or morning workout, but I do reduce the amount due to wanting to reduce pit stops. ;) Never felt there was any problem. But one day, before a hard running workout in hot weather, I took a caffeinated energy bar and started out all right--but about halfway through the workout felt dizzy and could barely complete the workout. I had thought nothing of eating the energy bar b/c it had never given me any problems in previous workouts. But hot weather seemed to have compounded whatever effect it had. Normally, however, I'm fine with the stuff.
