Craft beer for runners and endurance athletes
The Peer-Reviewed Pint
To help you wash down the latest evidence in the world of running science and sports nutrition, here's a snifter from my recent craft beer exploits.
Short Circuit Raspberry & Vanilla Sour
Brewed by Only With Love (Burgess Hill, UK).
Fruited Sour.
4.4% ABV.
No disassemble! Johnny five is alive. Raspberry vanillary 1980s robot goodness!

Does believing in caffeine improve interval running?
This randomized crossover trial tested caffeine expectancy during 2 interval sessions in 14 trained male runners. The caffeine-expectancy condition produced only a small, statistically uncertain improvement in performance.
So, should runners actually use belief?
Who benefits more from a super shoe?
This randomised crossover trial involved 64 runners and 2 laboratory visits. The advanced shoe improved running economy on average, but the size of the benefit varied considerably between runners.
So, should runners actually change their shoe choice?
Does heat training improve endurance performance?
This meta-analysis combined 23 controlled studies comparing exercise in hot and thermoneutral conditions over 4 to 15 days. Training in the heat produced moderately greater improvements in aerobic performance and several markers of heat adaptation.
So, should runners actually use heat training?
What predicts a runners’ uphill walk-run transition?
This laboratory study tested uphill walking and running in 17 trained male distance runners across 6 visits. The runners tended to switch gait near the point where walking and running required similar amounts of energy.
So, when should runners switch from a run to a walk?
