I get up early and go for a three-mile run in the mornings. I heard that coffee is not good before exercising so have been avoiding it. But I need it to wake up. Without it, I'm a danger to myself out there! Any suggestions?

So far, studies have shown that caffeine improves performance in endurance sports like running. So there is no need to torture yourself further. However, make sure you get enough water.
