I was wondering if there is anything negative that could arise from taking a pre-workout supplement before going for a run? Sometimes I feel really sluggish and lazy so I take a half serving of my pre w/o supp (VasoCharge) to get myself going for a run. I also notice I can run longer but I am wondering if I might not be getting the benefits of running that someone would get without taking the supplement before hand.
Does anyone have any input or does anyone else take a pre w/o before doing cardio?

I don't see the point. But then again I don't take PWO's anyway. Your heart rate is already going to be high during running, I don't see the point of placing unnecessary stress on your cardiovascular system.

Thanks for your opinion, that is a really good point, but you should try a Pre w/o and then you'd better understand the position that I'm coming from about taking a Pre w/o for some energy before a run.Originally Posted by Scartaris
Have you had pretty steady progress with being able to increase the intensity over time? Also, when was the last time you did cardio without the supp?Originally Posted by Guitarguru9909

pre-WO can be good to get you focused, but i would use them responsibly, as the poster before said that it elevates your heart rate on top of cardio. most of the time i take a product containing 1,3 dimeth before swimming/running.

1 tablet of Hemodrene is the perfect amount of stim for me pre-run. I have noticed that I really like products that have geranium oil in them. I do long ass runs so I have to be careful about crashing and Hemodrene hasn't failed me yet. I've found pump products give me shin splints if I run for longer than half an hour or so.

If you need something to get you focused and some more energy you could just go with some caffeine instead of a pre-workout supplement. Caffeine can simply raise your energy...
As already said, there's no need to put extra stress to you cardiovascular system!
