Caffeinated

Looking for an extra boost? Below you'll find our caffeinated endurance products, which can provide anything from a small, natural caffeine hit to the equivalent of a couple of cups of coffee.

Caffeine is a stimulant, which means it increases activity in your brain and nervous system. It also increases the circulation of chemicals such as cortisol and adrenaline in the body. From energy chews, energy gels, and drink mixes, you're bound to find a caffeinated product to fit into your nutrition plan.

Caffeinated products can be a game-changer for endurance athletes looking for that extra edge.
Whether it’s gels, chews, or drinks, a hit of caffeine can boost focus, delay fatigue, and help you push through those tough late-race kilometres. Everyone's tolerance to caffeine may differ, especially those with a sensitive stomach, so it's best to train and familiarise your limits. A well-timed kick of caffeine helps sharpen mental clarity and improve perceived effort, especially during long runs or races. Unlike a standard energy drink crash, endurance-specific caffeinated products are usually dosed right and paired with carbs for sustained energy. They’re great for breaking through a mid-race slump or powering up a final climb. Just be smart with timing and dosage, everyone’s tolerance is different. If you're chasing a PR or just trying to make it to the finish with a smile, caffeine could be solution.

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The main benefit of caffeine consumption is its effects on the central nervous system and reduced perception of effort or fatigue. This means that when we have a certain dose of caffeine we may prolong our time to fatigue and hence go harder for longer."}]}]}

As athletes who cherish every trail, road and waterway we train on, Aid Station proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People as the Traditional Owners of the land where we lace up our shoes each day. We respect every athlete's journey, and extend this same respect to all First Nations People and Elders across Australia, whose ancient pathways we now follow during races and adventures. We recognise the enduring connection First Nations Peoples have with Country - a relationship that shows the ultimate endurance. At Aid Station, while we help athletes fuel their journeys, we’re equally committed to respecting and preserving the land that sustains us. As proud sponsors of TRIMOB and the IRONMOB Program, we're honoured to support communities who share our passion for endurance sport. We pay respects to Elders past, present and future, celebrating the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - true endurance experts long before the first marathon was run.
