Caffeine Taper 3

..Not that my bike training for China Ironman is the important thing.  What really matters is the caffeine taper. 

And I did it!   I made it through a whole day with no caffeine.  

After six weeks on only 100 milligrams of caffeine per day, I inadvertently made it through yesterday with only minimal withdrawal effects.  Now we will see how the 700 milligram caffeine loading helps next Sunday.

  1. 100mm of caffeine sounds painfully... Do you have a table of caffeine content for typical starbucks brews? what is recommanded intake? would drinking green tea instead of caffeine help or would that be cheating?

  2. This site is pretty comprehensive -

    Note that a Starbucks Grande coffee is a whopping 330 mg.

    I guess it is recommended to drink no more than two 8-ounce cups or about 290 mg per day.

    Green Tea is only 25 mg (and has more anti-oxidants) and seems to be the trendy healthy choice now.

    (Vivarin pills washed down with coco-cola are the easiest boost though during a triathlon)
