I used to take them before I ran in the morning if I didn’t have time for coffee. Make sure they don’t make you shite though.

They don’t have a lot of caffeine. As long as it doesn’t upset your stomach you should be okay

I often times do a preworkout drink. About 200-250mg caffeine.

I've had a Red Bull before a 15k and was fine.

Do you typically take one before you run? If not, don't do it now. Always found my energy after running that first 5 minutes.

Don't do it. I cannot imagine how getting 20,000% of your daily value of something can be healthy for you.

I don’t mess with caffeine before cardio. Two things that skyrocket your heart rate just don’t seem smart to pair together.
