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\\u2019s something that is super cheap, safe, and has been rigorously studied for decades.

You\\u2019d probably say it\\u2019s too good to be true.

Well, it actually is true. It\\u2019s 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\\u2019t 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\\u2019re 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\\u2019ll 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\\u2019ll go over protein for runners in general from essential amino acids, branched chain amino acids, and more

If you\\u2019ve ever wondered if there was a cheap, safe, and effective way to boost your performance, this is the episode for you.
