I’ve always avoided caffeine before exercise because I’ve worried about overexerting myself and getting an injury from going all out. I wonder if there’s research on this factor?

The only reason I've found to avoid it is that 1 time in 10, coffee before a long ride means that I'll urgently need to pee every few miles -- way more often than I can find a legal place to do so.

haha, this has happened to me during a half marathon. It cost me 10-15 mins as there was a big line outside the toilet
