Drinking Coffee Before a Workout

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerMany athletes drink coffee 30-60 minutes before exercise because caffeine can improve alertness and endurance performance in research. A regular cup of black coffee is a simple option. Start with a small amount, avoid it late in the day, and skip it if caffeine upsets your stomach or heart rhythm. Check with your doctor if unsure.

Tips

  • Drink it black to avoid a heavy stomach.
  • Hydrate with water too.
  • Don't combine with energy drinks.
