Kim Smith » Coffee Break with Kim Smith

fairly interesting. Java and Tea fiends like myself knowing that caffeine is supposedly bad...supposedly, yet still drink it. I've always drank it not for an edge, but because it's striking taste. YES it's true that for some people it's not the best of choices, but for those that are acclimated to the effects...amen and more power to you, I know I won't stop. But I'll also say that it is as well interesting that afforementioned dilation of blood vessels, not veins, but no matter...causes increased HR..Ironic in that my RHR is anywhere 38-44, even on days of great caffeine consumption. Similar low HR among caffeine consumers?

Everyone just needs to quit aruguing about wats in what kind of food and drinks.
We're all runners and we burn loads of calories aday,we can afford to eat ANYTHING.
Just eat people and quit complaining about how bad caffeine is for runners.
I eat candy,fried food,and take lots of caffiene everyday(for work mostly) and it doesn't affect my running in any way.

I wouldn't say "NO hint of hate"

"I hope someone can tell Kim (before the Olympics) that coffee is nasty-acidic, and acidic foods are a really BAD choice for endurance athletes. Alkaline foods/liquids are a much wiser source of energy. Do some Googling to educate yourself! Also, it's smart to learn about the Glycemic index."
All I ask is to respect her for her choice, since she has proven herself as an world-caliber athlete
And to Scott Elliott: there are always people who are beliigerent and wanting to attack back at any small thing. To truly set yourself at a higher mark than others, don't take their bait and post one yourself.

hey scott, stfu. let people enjoy the lil things in life

she has set all the NZ records off of coffee drinking. oh yeah, and she's ranked #2 in the world in the 10k in 2008

Kim is going to be running NYC in November.

That's called addiction... but coffee has caffeine which will open up your vaines and increase your heart rate.

She's great!
Thanks for the video.

kim smith cracks me up. such a dry and somewhat sarcastic sense of humor. she's great. More Kim Smith!!!

She's adorable and endearing. I credit Mark with having a rapport with two such disparate personalities as Kim and Sarah Jamieson. Yes, Kim is shy and you'd think she would have gotten more used to being a semi-public figure a bit, but ...you know, the way she is is what made her #5 in the world in the 10,000 last year. So good for her.

1. Although she always seems shy (like the rest of the run providence folk), she always seems open to interviews etc.
2. She was fourth at Worlds last year, NCAA record holder etc. etc.
3. She is not even slightly unattractive
4. There is the whole reebok series thing
