you all very strong. I hiked maybe 450m in elevation in Grampians (from a 300+m carpark to 700+m at the peak) and already quite shack out liao.

Hence the training... It's my first time to cover a 50km event.

One week (3 more weeks to go) into my Creatine loading, already can see significant improvement in my training. Most obvious is recovery.  Since last Saturday, I haven't felt much fatigue or any. Other thing is the ability of tackling my training. Threshold and interval felt easier. Can see why this is call the legal 'drug'.

Resting HR in the morning dropped from 47-50, to 40-42. from day 3 of loading til today. HRV range increase from 32-39, to 42-52. Metric in Coros apps also see the step jump, like the recovery index.

To me, Exercise volume together with creatine works.

In this video are some other benefits, but I think may not be as significant as the benefits for those who exercise.

 

I realise ur HRV and mine has a huge gap. is lower or higher better?

Higher numbers are usually found more on the younger and higher athletics performer.  But I read it is also highly individualized.

I see, cos I see my peer who is quite fit but his HRV is in the 50s range so I wonder what HRV really means

HRV is the gap btw each heart beat.

It is measured in milliseconds.

For pro athletes, they usually has a long gap (high HRV).

Usually, it is used to measure recovery.

You have look at your own HRV and resting HR over a period of time.

You have a really big heart. Your RHR is really low👍🏻

I think the Garmin watch is not that zhun cos when I go for health checks it’s usually 52-55. My next one is due in early July. See what it says 🫣

You can download HRV4Training app for validation.

Measure it once you wake up.

Wah... You resting heart rate is elite athletes range.

The new Garmin Connect interface is really bad... also can't switch back after updated....

Not just my experience, new studies are supporting it. It just seems like there's a major sponsor for Creatine that encouraging scientist to discover more new benefits outside from strength and high intensity workout.🤣 Very evil.

For me Creatine main benefit for my sports is recovery. As long I don't feel fatigue, and feel energized everyday for new workout, I consider it works. And so far, it works..

 

Downside is I suspect it might increase my risk of gout. I haven't had an attack for year ever since I lower my Thyroid meds to half tab every other day.

On day 4, my left foot felt a dull pain, which is familiar onset of gout I had in past. But that was resolved after my run when I drank lots of water. Day 5 -7, totally pain free, seems like it's gone.  Changes is I took Creatine mixed into 800ml of water (max level for my shaker) instead of the recommended 8 oz on the label. And I just drank more water than usual.

I took creatine syrup during my NS, no loading required... Just take 30mins before exercise routine. 

It does delay the muscle fatigue...That was also when I did my highest number of pull up during IPPT.

Now I only take BCAA before going for resistance training. Then take protein shake after.
