Need an extra kick?
Caffeine has been proven to boost endurance performance for many athletes. Test it in training and don’t go overboard—excessive caffeine and possible side-effects such as GI distress, jitters or anxiety will only derail performances.
Try: 2nd Surge gels or Clif Shot Turbo—each has a concentrated 100mg of caffeine. Also try EFS Pre Race powder mixed into your favorite sports drink (at 200mg per tiny scoop, it’s powerful stuff).
