Caffeine and Exercise

Caffeine has three main effects on the body as it relates to exercise. Caffeine acts: (1) as a stimulus to the central nervous system, (2) to decrease the contractile threshold of a muscle, allowing a smaller stimulus to elicit a muscle contraction, and (3) to increase the mobilization of free fatty acids in the blood stream.2

Free fatty acids are the portion of fat that can be burned as fuel by the muscles, and as an energy resource they are of major importance to marathoners and other distance runners.

Caffeine's Benefits to Distance Runners

Due to the increase of free fatty acids that occurs as a result of caffeine ingestion, caffeine was seen as beneficial to long distance runners, especially marathoners.

Physiologically speaking, as you run, your muscles use both fat and glycogen as fuel. Theoretically, the body has an unlimited supply of fat for distance running purposes. However, the natural tendencies of our bodies are to use mostly muscle glycogen as fuel in the first 90 minutes of running.

Caffeine increases the use of fat as fuel, thus sparing our bodies' limited supply of muscle glycogen.

After about 90 minutes, the glycogen stores can become depleted, causing you to slow down (also known as "hitting the wall") as your body switches to fat as the primary fuel.

By performing extra long runs (more than 90 minutes in duration), not only will you be able to (1) build thick, new networks of oxygen-carrying capillaries, (2) increase the number and energy-producing capacity of your muscle cells' mitochondria, (3) safely recruit and train fast-twitch muscle fibers to gain greater endurance potential, but you will also be able to (4) teach your body to begin using more fat as a fuel earlier in your runs, thereby delaying the depletion of your muscle glycogen and ultimately increasing your endurance (your ability to run for a longer period of time).

Therefore, if you could further increase the body's use of fat as a fuel earlier in your training runs (through caffeine ingestion), you could benefit from being able to train longer distances and race farther before slowing down. This is because delaying the use of glycogen will allow you to maintain a given pace longer before fatigue sets in.
