I am a runner and i was wondering the "chaser 5 hour energy drink" is harmful to me in my health and race!

Question: Yes. It will elevate your heart rate, and that is the last thing you want when running distance. Load up on carbs and juices in the morning, and then go all water after that. Apples are your friend! One apple will make you more alert than a cup of coffee, and it is high in fiber. It gives you a slower, more natural release of energy, with no crash.

I did a bootcamp style workout, and made the mistake of loading up on energy drink. It made me barf, and my heart rate was through the roof.

And hey, good luck in your race. I hope you win (or finish if that is your goal)
