But seriously -- look at your diet first. Are you fueling for your training needs. I've never looked to the thermos to be the make or break part of my training. If you're getting tired before your session is over, is your session too long? did you eat enough carbs to support the session? HOw is your diet in general? I literally ONLY use thermos either for a kick in the pants to wake up for early AM cardio or for a boost gettign into the gym after a full day of work. I don't expect to rely on that buzz the whole time. If I start getting tired, I'll first check myself if I'm getting low blood sugar (cold sweat washes over you) - then its just time to leave and eat. If I'm starving - time to leave & eat. If I'm just plain beat - when's the last time I ate? Am I short on calories that day, etc.
I am training for about an hour a day 4 days per week and 1.5 hrs cardio per day 4 days per week and .5hrs per day 3 days per week.
My diet is pretty good I think. Here is a basic run down of rough meal plan as of current.
