Fascinating. This has also made me decide to give decaffeinated coffee a try, intermittently between the cups I have on a morning! I actually think the taste is what I like, more than the reaction.
So is beetroot powder as good as natural beetroot? If so that would be more convenient, anything I should look at specifically when buying beetroot powder?
Great question. I do have a video dedicated to beats on this channel that will answer those questions for you. But having actual beats is even better. The less processed the better so a raw beet that is juiced is good or steamed beets in your salad are also good. And using beet powder is just a fun supplement that I use in hot, herbal beverages or smoothies from time to time. It’s mostly just for fun and convenience. But if you want to get the very best benefits, have fresh raw beets, or slightly steamed.
Awesome video and informative video!! i am intolerant to caffe and really helps me when i drink it before race; i should run NYC (fast) marathon and I thinking to go whit Maurten (which I can’t buy I Serbia but try gel100 one time; don’t have stomach problems); plan to take 7 gels, without coffee before race: caf, g100, caf, g100, caf, g100, g100… what do you think? Do you have some suggestion😀? Thx🙂
Interesting video. The rumors say that Mo Farah was a significant coffee drinker, including before his peaks performances. May be an exception but have we considered all factors, for example the psychological one?
Yes agree. You can watch the expanded version of this video as well, whew I talk l more about that. If Mo drinks a lot of caffeine then he’s physically addicted to it and not having it for a race would result in a worse performance for him. For someone who doesn’t normally have any caffeine, a small hundred milligram dose will send you to the moon. And it’s not a dose response for your performance. Meaning that if you do want a performance game you want to get 100 - 150 mg. Having more as a detrimental effect.
hello can you do a video or help me with how long is too long for a long run for a runner training for mile 5k maybe 10k, i run 30 miles a week with no long run currently and want to start running 10-12 mile long runs but at a 10 min pace that could take me 2 hours. at what point is their diminishing marginal return/ whats the optimal time for runners not training for long distances races like the marathon. i dont want to do a "hero run"
duly noted. I have this written down as a potential future video. In short, for your actual race, in the short term, your long run is fine where it is. But it comes down more to "how does your long run support your 5k race". Like how long, how often, at what pace. Based on what you wrote you may do well to go back to "base" training and slowly increase overall volume, keep your long run where it is, and add in short speed (very short).
I went to a specialist because I had an issue with my liver. He asked me if I drank green tea. He said that green tea and green tea extracts that are in a lot of energy drinks are really bad for you. Take it how you will, even doctors have different opinions. But this is a guy that just looks tests all day long. I would assume he sees what it does to a large test pool.
This research is in the direct effect on the arteries and blood flow. There are of course all sorts of topics we could talk about on green tea. When in doubt don’t have it either. I recommend considering a fully raw diet. Then tea wouldn’t be in that equation either. But that approach isn’t for everyone. I personally don’t do either. I have herbal tea. No caffeine except in the late stages of an ultra. Doctors will disagree on lots of things. So it’s a good idea to be the steward of our own health and reading the literature direct from the sources. Most doctors themselves still aren’t healthy.
@@runelitecoach I wish I could do that too. I am in the process of dropping caffeine and that is hard enough. I personally don't take everything doctors say as gospel. There have been too many times that I have followed what my doctor said, then switch doctors and they say I am crazy for doing what the first said. I always try to research my issues before and after I see a doc. Keep up the good work!
You don’t need to go completely raw! That’s pretty far down the line. It’s just a good idea to make an improvement from where you are. I’d say that reducing caffeine is a great first step. Nice job!

Yeah, I can not stand beets. If i could put powder in a smoothy, maybe I could get it down.
Exactly what I came to ask for!

Mo and his team are elite, we should not compare ourselves with elites. They are different breed.

I have just discovered I am an elite runner…slept twice a day for ten hrs!
Ha! That’s a good start. Now train!! :)
