Tobacco cessation : Tobacco cessation is the #1 best way to improve your jogging & cardiovascular fitness. Energy drinks are a band aid to this problem.

Caffeine: Has a small increase in short term performance. However, this is likely counteracted by the negative effects of smoking. Your single greatest improvement will likely come from smoking cessation as will your best risk reduction.
