Day 25: Caffeine Strategy (Timing Your Dose)
Caffeine blocks Adenosine (the molecule that makes you tired). It does not "give" energy; it "borrows" it. Ideally, we want that loan to hit exactly when the whistle blows.
Pharmacokinetics:
- Onset: 15-20 minutes.
- Peak Plasma Levels: 45-60 minutes.
- Half-Life: 5-6 hours.
The Protocol:
- Stop: No caffeine 7 days before the event (Resensitization).
- Load: Take 3-6mg per kg of bodyweight exactly 60 minutes before start time.
- Source: Pill or Black Coffee. No sugar (sugar crash kills the buzz).
This turns Caffeine from a habit into a weapon.
