The LEGAL Performance Enhancer No One Tells Runners About 

Are you talking protein in natural form as in eggs and meat?

😂😂😂😂

"I am off cocaine excuse me Sir" - With talent like that, I suggest you don't quit your day job.

@@thepsychologist8159 night job wouldve sound better.

Thanks for the tip. I don’t need to waste my time watching the video

@@FraterNal96 Any job would have sounded much better.

Don't forget to take your "Hyperbole Reducing" supplement! We should be deriving our protein needs (and not only) from a variety of natural, healthy food sources!!! Cheers from Melbourne.

This is one of the most underrated channels for running. Probably because most people are mentally slow and can't and don't want to comprehend this type of stuff.

@@Tritiuminducedfusion I'm certain that, after so many supplements, your running speed can keep up with your mental speed and vice-versa! The essence of my post was blatantly missed. Cheers and happy running!

@@kostaspapazoglou2851 Harsh, but I get your point. You can overload on supplements instead of just eating natural, healthy whole foods. I'm over 50yo so I take CoQ10 as this dramatically depletes in your body as you get older and I also take creatine as well, plus a few other vitamin supplements. However, I do try and eat healthy food at each opportunity.

@@thepsychologist8159 A proper, varied and well-balanced intake of macro nutrients should also provide all the essential micro nutrients and can, therefore, eliminate the need of supplements ( vitamin D could be an exception for most ). However, everyone pursues their own nutritional balances based on their own rationale and eventually have to deal and reconcile with their beliefs, preconceptions, placebos and eventual consequences!!! Cheers.

Yes, good question. The latter is definitely the most common and cost-effective. I think creatine phosphate is what's produced after your body metabolizes creatine. Could be wrong.

@thepsychologist8159 thanks , this is making sense now .... someone else mentioned the same process further up as well 👍

I also want some suggestions. But I’m glad that he left it out. It’s tiring that so many channels promote products via sponsorships.

I believe it all comes out of the same factory so brand doesn’t matter. You just want creatine monohydrate. Doesn’t need any additives.

Any Creatine monohydrate will do, no need to overthink this

And an overdose maybe of cholesterol

Not really. It can be beneficial for sprinters, but for endurance athletes not so much. For example World Your cycle teams only typically give it to sprinters.

Yes they absolutely do

​@@MrJohnno89 Supplementing your diet with creatine isn't going to enhance your distance running performance.

Yes, this is true, it does make you put on weight initially. However, the trade off is greater muscle strength and the benefits of recovery. Any time lost initially will soon return, and then some.

For marathons this could be an advantage, to avoid dehydration.

@@AranenDen There are definitely many benefits to creatine. I'm over 50yo, so even aside from running this supplement is highly recommended when you age. It's why I also take ubiquinone.

@@thepsychologist8159 I never said there werent I only replied in the context of gaining water weight. Its potentially really good for brain function as well when you age. I recommend it to everyone I know. Especially in an age where everyone is eating less meat, so don't have a natural source anymore.

@@AranenDen I concur. There are many benefits to creatine, especially as you age.

Timing shouldn’t matter. It stores in your system

Creatine monohydrate will turn into phosphocreatine through creatine kinase.

Creatine can impact your sleep. I wonder if this is why your HRV was down

They’re different. Protein builds muscle, creatine helps muscles function more efficiently. Always prioritise protein.

Creatine monohydrate. All other creating are waste of money.

It accumulates. If you don’t load it just takes longer to reach saturation

Where this info comes from? I am just curious and never heard that before

Try have a banana instead 😅

How do you get 15% protein and only 10% fat?

Pretty easy on a whole foods plant-based diet. Lots of beans, grains vegetables and fruit with small amounts of omega 3 rich foods (chia seeds, flax seeds, nuts). I run seven days a week and usually run 80-120 miles a week with three days of strength training. At 40 years old, I have more energy than any of my kids.

@@Marathon5151 So what is your total daily average of protein in grams? Do you eat soy or protein powders or processed vegan meats? That is impressive. I want to run that much. I'm a vegan too. But I have trouble keeping my fat level at 10% and my protein around 75-80 grams.

@@mountainstream8351I average between 100-150 grams of protein per day. I’m trying to get to my ideal racing weight of 140 lbs. I sometimes take protein powder and if I do, I use Earth Chimp and either have it with oatmeal or in a shake. In either one, I add a whole package of Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower rice to add an extra vegetable that is neutral in taste (adds bulk for the oatmeal and adds creaminess for the shake). I eat tofu every so often and TVP (textured vegetable protein, which is defatted soy). Most of my protein does come from beans and vegetables. I eat one or two cans worth of beans a day and a ton of vegetables (2-4 lbs). Get a little from fruit too since I eat 2-4 lbs of fruit a day as well. I usually hit around 100g of fiber per day and 10K mg of potassium.

@@Marathon5151 i often see people saying they run this kind of mileage, and I always wonder how do you do it? don't you need to work, do stuff at home, see other people, rest, stuff like that?

We thought that was quite funny too 🤣🤣🤣

You need to up your daily water intake when taking creatine , we need to work harder to stay hydrated but worth it

@citrix123 I drink plenty of purofied water. It's a great habit of mine. What are the long term side effects of taking creatine on a regular basis because my body definitely does not take well to it?

​@@ephesians6ten185bro , I would check with your doctor as the creatine may not be the issue here but the symptom of something bigger , best to have bloods done to check regular kidney function , it may save your life at a later stage , wishing you luck 👍
