I always run in AM so don't have any before, but I usually have a cup and a half after, then a cup in the afternoon. But I've been slowly replacing my second AM cup and my afternoon cup with decaf, making them half and half, and I feel better. I do think caffeine nmakes you crash. however, I do know that in some long runs in the PM I've had, if i had coffee before I ran like you know what!! Coffee also dehydrates, so if you are running a lot you should always follow up a cup with a glass of water, then drink the normal amount of water. I've found I'm more thirsty on days when I have more coffee. I go up and down with coffee.
