Pre-Race Morning Espresso Routine
A pre-race morning espresso routine repeats practiced shot timing and format on simulation days—never new caffeine experiments on race morning.
A pre-race morning espresso routine rehearses the same shot count, minutes-before-start, and stomach prep on long-run simulation days—usually forty-five to sixty minutes pre-gun with familiar milk or black format. Race-week is not for switching to energy drinks or triple shots.
Stack bowel and carb plans so espresso is one known variable.
Common questions
-
Should you skip espresso if race nerves upset your stomach?
Use whatever you practiced on long runs—skip only if every simulation day without coffee felt better. Do not add shots race morning solely for nerves.
