Creatine: How a cheap weight lifting supplement can boost your running with Kelly Jones, RD

What if I told you that there is something out there that can
help you build lean muscle, boost endurance, reduce fatigue, help
you perform better, help slow down the aging process, with
virtually no downsides? Not only that, it’s something that is
super cheap, safe, and has been rigorously studied for decades.


You’d probably say it’s too good to be true.


Well, it actually is true. It’s creatine. Yes, the supplement
that bodybuilders have been taking forever to bulk up can also be
incredibly beneficial to endurance athletes as well.


Now, you might be wondering how this can possibly be true. After
all, most endurance athletes don’t want to grow Arnold
Schwartzenegger muscles and tend not to have much in common with
the gym bros trying to bulk up. But mention boosted endurance and
reduction in soreness? Now we’re getting excited.


Coach Claire dives down the creatine rabbit hole with registered
sports dietician Kelly Jones.


In this episode of the Run to the Top, you’ll learn:


what the benefits of creatine are for endurance athletes, and
how to use it

what the myths and potential downsides are to creatine

and we’ll go over protein for runners in general from
essential amino acids, branched chain amino acids, and more



If you’ve ever wondered if there was a cheap, safe, and effective
way to boost your performance, this is the episode for you.

BIO Pro +

As we get older our body slowly stops producing the natural
hormones, HGH, responsible for muscle repair, growth and
recovery. BioPro+ is a non-synthetic alternative to prescription
HGH growth hormone treatments. It’s a natural way to replace the
growth hormones you lose as you age. There’s no injecting, no
prescriptions, and it’s all natural.
