Build Your Routine

The best athletes don’t rely on motivation. They rely on routine.

Because when the energy is low, when it’s raining, cold, or dark, — routine is all that matters. It makes consistency easy. And that consistency changes everything.

Routine is the foundation. Long Run gives you the right tools to build it, and the support to keep it going.

 


Using Long Run

Below you'll find clear usage instructions, ideal timing, and what to expect from each product. Use this to shape your own system — and build the consistency that leads to results.

 


Long Run Energy Pouches

How to Use:

  • Place one pouch in your upper lip.

  • Feel the energy in 5–10 minutes.

  • Keep it in for up to 90 minutes.

When to Use:

These are versatile. Most athletes use them during training sessions (put in ~10 minutes before starting), but many also use another after training to stay alert after exercise. 

What to Expect:

Expect light, focused energy. Clear mental boost. No crash.

Routine Tip:

The average athlete uses two per day - one during training, and one mid-day. If you consume caffeine in other ways, be mindful of your total caffeine intake to protect sleep and recovery.

 


Electrolyte Coffee

How to Use:

  • Brew like any normal coffee. Hot or cold.

  • Drink before or after training.

  • Let hydration & energy do their job.

When to Use:

Hydration is good before and after training. Most athletes use Long Run Coffee before training sessions, but many use it after training as a way to rehydrate and get ready for the day. Both are good options. It's best to use regularly.  

What to Expect:

Expect steady energy, a light hydration boost, and no stomach issues.

Routine Tip:

Long Run Coffee is a go-to for thousands of athletes. Stay consistent. One cup, same time every day. Let it anchor your routine.

 


Ready to Run (Electrolyte Powder + Natural Caffeine)

How to Use:

  • Mix one scoop with 8–12 oz of water.

  • Shake or stir well.

  • Drink before or after training.

When to Use:

Before or after training sessions. Ready to Run has natural caffeine, which is ideal for an energy boost during training, or to keep energy high after your session. The electrolyte content here is higher, so the hydration impact is significant. 

What to Expect:

Expect smooth energy and a strong hydration impact. Proper hydration reduces fatigue and improves overall ease of training. No stomach issues.

Routine Tip:

This is an instant powder mix, that does not require brewing - making it easy to use quickly, and take it on the go.

 


Melatonin Tea (Rest & Recover)

How to Use:

  • Steep one bag in hot water for 5–10 minutes.

  • Drink 30–60 minutes before bed.

  • Relax, and let the recovery work.

When to Use:

In the evening, on both rest days and training days. Any time recovery matters (which is always).

What to Expect:

Expect to feel calm, relaxed, and ready for real sleep. Wake up clear, not groggy.

Routine Tip:

Stack this with a wind-down habit, like stretching, or reading (check out the Long Run Library). Create a rhythm that primes you to rest.
