    A very quick and simple question/poll for you distinguished gentlemen!

    Im doing a 10km charity run next weekend.....would you drop a couple of ephedrine tabs before hand or just run it clean??

    Ephedrine would be better for a 5k than a 10k.

    When I was doing triathlons, I uses ephedrine only for sprint tri's, which were short. 1000mtr swim/18mile bike/5k run.

    I did tri's for 3yrs, with a Bally's Health Club sponsorship, when I lived in Florida. It's totally different type of training. Just have to be patient.

    I will take a suger free red bull before matches and that seems to get my circulation going.
