effect of creatine on endurance!

[bananas007]

I know creatine supplement helps with anaerobic training such as weight lifting or sprints, but everytime I start supplementing creatine I also notice a moderate improvement in my cardiovascular endurance as well.

For eg. i Do my 30 minutes elliptical at a speed of 7 on a level 3 every morning. When I start creatine I reach about 8-9.5 speed with almost the same level of exertion.

Anyone else see that effect? maybe I am using anaerobic energy in short bursts during long cardio. I try to keep things steady state however.. so not really doing bursts of energy.

As a fighter I use a 32 ounce mixer bottle of creatine, BCAA, and electrolytes during my 4-5 hour training sessions. I do find that the creatine helps me with recovery between striking rounds. I still get gassed over time, but I can recharge/recover quicker.

Its not something that I have really noted in my runs with CREATINE. I've always monitored things like strength and size. Something I will keep a close eye on next time.

You have to build an endurance first，creatine supplementation has no positive direct effect on distance runners. But creation can make you muscle stronger. Most of the research shows that creatine may make you faster for repetitive sprints but not single sprints.
