Caffeine for Endurance Athletes: Dose, Timing, and the Catch
Caffeine is one of the few ergogenic aids with real, replicated evidence behind it. Here is the honest version: effective dose (3-6 mg/kg), when to take it, what habituation actually does to the effect, and the gut and sleep trade-offs most guides skip.
