3 Reasons Runners
Are Switching To This
Coffee was never built for running. 120,000 runners have made the switch to Mission to upgrade their performance.
Why coffee is working against runners
It spikes your cortisol before you lace up
Every coffee elevates your stress hormones before your run begins. Higher cortisol means higher perceived effort, slower recovery, and more inflammation after hard sessions - the opposite of what a pre-run drink should do.
It kills your metabolic flexibility
Real endurance comes from your body's ability to switch between fuel sources efficiently. Coffee dependency disrupts that. Mission's blend of matcha, yerba mate and cordyceps is designed to support metabolic flexibility - so your body burns smarter, not harder.
It's capping your VO2 max without you knowing
Your 2pm cup has a 5–6 hour half-life. It's still in your system when you sleep, cutting into the deep recovery your aerobic capacity depends on. The cordyceps in Mission are clinically proven to boost VO2 max.
Clinically Proven. Third-party Tested.
Athletic
Performance
Stop surviving your runs. Start performing. Cordyceps and yerba mate support VO2 max so you go further, faster - every time.
Daily
Energy
No spike. No crash. No 10am wall. Clean, sustained fuel that carries you from your morning run to your last meeting without dropping off.
Laser
Focus
The mental side of running is half the battle. Performance nootropics keep you locked in when the miles get hard and the pace gets uncomfortable.
Lasting
Endurance
Long runs demand metabolic flexibility. Mission supports your body's ability to switch fuel sources efficiently - so your hardest sessions feel like training, not survival.

After suffering caffeine + sugar crashes during a 12,500km charity bike ride across South America, I discovered yerba mate - a clean, steady alternative. Inspired by the difference I felt, I worked with nutritionists + master blenders to develop a range of all-natural performance hot drinks. After setting a new world record running the length of Iceland, fuelled by the blends, Mission was born.

Can I have Mission matcha hot or cold?
You can take our matcha blend hot or cold depending on how you're feeling. To make cold, take a similar approach to iced coffee. Pour your matcha over ice!
-
Does your matcha contain Caffeine?
We are the only UK tea + coffee company to pay to test for the amount of caffeine in each blend. Our matcha blend contains 45mg caffeine per serve. The NHS recommends a maximum of 200mg per day. A Costa Venti coffee has 325mg. Most energy drinks are roughly 150mg.
