I've been an endurance athlete pretty much all my adult life. I did triathlons and distance races in my 30's and 40s. Marathon was my best distance. Now that I'm older I'm dabbling in ultramarathons. I work 4 days a week and any day I don't work I hike or run at least 13 miles in the morning.
Instead of energy drinks I'm generally having protein drinks in my listening chair but it is much easier to stay there and relax for a while after a good workout.
