Anyone else slightly obsessed with working out the optimum time to have a coffee pre run? Today my phone wasn’t charged enough so left the house a bit too long after my caffeine.. not sure if it made a difference or not haha 😅

I am the opposite - I need to leave it long enough AFTER my cup of tea to make sure I don’t need a wee en route! 🤣

Haha that is a good shout! I make sure I empty my bladder multiple times before leaving too 😅

Most runners have a cake and coffee after a run, not before it, if you wish to have coffee before you run, it's better to have a hour before it, not a big cup and straight out and run.

Yeah I usually do leave it about an hour 🙂
