Whoa, I just googled the nutrition info on a 12 oz red bull out of curiosity - one can has 38g of sugar. That's a frick ton. From your post, sounds like that's at least 76g of added sugar a day, maybe over 100g of added sugar if you add the third can. Start there and substitute black coffee or a caffeine pill if you have to have the pick me up. I have to imagine you'd feel better making that switch alone.

I'm not gonna tell anybody how to live their life, but, if you could cut back on a few of those fri-sat beers, you'd likely have more energy to put in a few more miles on the weekend. Most of us with work and families are weekend warriors anyway. More free time to log miles on the weekend.

I was assuming (hoping) he was talking about sugar free Red Bulls but if not then yeah, start there.

And on this note, I've been having a beer or 2 3-4 days a week here lately. I had gotten out of this habit for a good while, but damn sometime I just want a beer. Of course, the whole time I'm worried how it will affect my training, sleep, etc. This tangled web we weave.
