Ultramarathon Caffeine Timing
Ultramarathon caffeine timing places measured doses for second-half focus—tested in training, not first introduced at mile sixty.
Ultramarathon caffeine timing usually saves cola, caffeinated gels, or tablets for the second half or pre-dawn slump—one to three milligrams per kilogram can sharpen focus without early jitters and gastric upset. Habitual coffee drinkers still benefit from planned race doses; abstainers should test low doses in training.
Stop large caffeine near the finish if sleep recovery matters within twelve hours.
Common questions
-
Will caffeine fix a calorie bonk?
No—it masks fatigue briefly. Pair caffeine with carbs and sodium; otherwise you risk a harder crash when stimulation fades.
