Pre-Workout vs Coffee - Which is better before your next workout?
This is a big question many of us ask before we go for a run, ride, swim, or gym session. For our early birds here, do I drink coffee or pre workout? For our night owls, I am tired from a log day of work and need energy but is it too late for caffeine? Well let's answer these questions starting with coffee versus pre-workout.
Coffee or Pre-Workout?
We all love a warm cup of coffee early in the morning especially before a cold run. But is it what is best for you? While yes the caffeine will provide energy does it benefit your workout? The research says that it does not. Good news is that all of the things surrounding caffeine like dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are actually not true. YAA🎉 But the research shows that coffee provides to benefit or energy to an individuals workout (1). Well now what? You have crushed my hopes and dreams so what about pre-workout? Good news. This is a great option, but only if formulated correctly. We all have tried it. That random pre-workout a friend has had in their pantry for 2 years and you take since you have no coffee and boom, your run or ride is ruined because you are sick, heart rate got too high, etc. This is because there are so many pre-workouts on the market and many of them are what you would call "white label" meaning they purchased a random formula from a manufacturer that is "popular" and has no research backing it's dosing, especially if you are an endurance athlete. But good news is that there is one pre-workout on the market that is the perfect solution to give you energy and ACTUAL performance boosting for your next run. MYB Nutrition (or MYB Supps), provides the first ever endurance pre-workout that was formulated for over 2 years looking at the latest research (2) (3) (4) (5) to find the perfect formula to actually support your next run, ride, or workout. The founder of MYB is a runner and a lifter and likes his pre-workout. His issue was that there was never a pre-workout that actually supported a run. So he spent 2 years coming up with the perfect endurance pre-workout. So while we love our morning coffee maybe before our next run we try MYB Buff Runner 👀
What About Night Time Exercise?
Again we have great news for our night owls. You don't need caffeine for energy and this form of energy also wont keep you up all night. MYB Supps also offers a stimulant free, aka caffeine free, endurance pre-workout to get you through any night run, ride or workout.
