On the way to the gym; I decided to try some creatine. I haven’t used it for well over a year, and it was in my glove box. Creatine is a nutrirional supplement that produces muscle growth. I stopped taking it because I wanted to see how things went without it; I always worked out very well in the past when taking creatine. I’m not sure how much of the effect was placebo; but I had a very intense workout. I started out with running. I ran the first mile at 7-9pmh, the 3/4 of the second mile at 10mph and the last 1/4 mile from 11-12mph. I then cooled down to a slow jog for a 1/4 of a mile and alternated between walking and running 10-11mph for and additional mile. I noticed it was easier for me to breath during the run, and I felt more aware too. I was surprised because I drank over the weekend, and drinking usually inhibits my work-outs. In addition. I felt like I could have ran a lot harder and further. After words, I did weights for chest and shoulder, and everything was easier too. During my work out, I noticed increased motivation, strength and endurance; however, this was an experiment to see how a small dose of creatine would effect a work-out after a long layoff of the supplement, and I will likely continue with out the supplement for a bit. I want to evoke the same inspiration on food diet only. I may try the creatine again after several weeks to see the difference.
