I tried the creatine liquid and did not notice any difference in my recovery the next day. Still had sore muscles after a tough workout. I didn't see any performance
enhancement either.
Endurox is something that honestly has greatly reduced muscle soreness. Its a performance recovery drink. Its been working for 2 of the guys I train with too.
my nutritionist is a professional on creatine and he had nothing but bad news about that stuff!! don't take it! take the powder if you are going to take it, it's the real/pure stuff
that's classic... "don't take it! don't take it!!! but if you do, take the powder."
don't have sex, kiddies! but if you do, use a condom.
Added Creatine has no effect after the first second or so of muscle movement. The effects are utilized only during explosive movement. There is absolutely NO valid scientific evidence of creatine improving aerobic or endurance performance. The way it is used by the body makes it impossible to have those effects.
Rhubarb you are dead wrong and i meant don't take the runner's creatine b/c its a liquid and not an active form.... creatine helps those training up to the mile (for repeat 2-300's etc...on down)
To understand creatine the supplement you have to understand what phosphocreatine is....
First off, read this:
http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sports/creatine.html
You have enough ATP stored in your body for 2-3 seconds of all-out work, then phosphocreatine moves in to keep the ATP levels up for another 7 seconds or so, so a total of 10 seconds. After such time the ATP begins to be produced through glycolysis while ATP production from phosphocreatine continues but at a declining production bottoming out at 60-90 seconds. So, if your race is longer than 60-90 seconds than it is pretty pointless to bother with creatine supplementation. ATP production through phosphocreatine is simply an ANAEROBIC event.

I think Alan has it right. I used this runner's creatine a few years ago in college and it didn't seem to do much either good or bad. I did notice I did SLIGHTLY better in interval workouts while taking it, but it was probably just the placebo effect. I think it may have helped only for when I was doing 200m repeats, and only a few of them (during the sharpening phase, as an 800m runner...). It's worth a try I guess, I don't think it'll hurt ya, just don't expect much.
