    This is certainly not a comprehensive list of great supplements out there. What is a must have supplement for your training?

      @nicholasruiz1394 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Beta alanine 4-6g daily
      Used to take BCAAS which are actually not bad for recovery
      Creatine when I was training more like a 400/800 runner
      Stimostam which is a buffer
      Caffeine in workout days

    Yup, we really don't need much. Get blood work and find out what you are lacking. I found out that my iron levels would drop during hard work out weeks. So all I take is a iron supplement and a multivitamin. A week after constantly taking iron my workouts were so much better. I felt I had more energy and didn't feel drained after the workout.

    I heard Deena Kastor asked the same question last spring. Her answer was "None" -- she just made sure that she ate a really well balanced diet. When she was told she needed more vitamin D she said she added kale (kale chips), eggs and pickled herring and got her levels back to normal. I seem to recall that some athletes have tested positive for banned substances after taking supplements.

    • @nicksymmonds
      @nicksymmonds  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the reality is many supplements are tainted with things they aren't supposed to have in them. This is a result of crappy company and crappy manufacturers not taking pride in their products. Deena Kastor is a legend and I agree that a good diet can cover 99%+ of your dietary needs.

    Hey Nick! I’m just starting my Cross-Country training and I want to know you’re opinion on things I should change this summer from last summer. And how can I start making my distance days faster while still allowing my body to recover properly?

    • @nicksymmonds
      @nicksymmonds  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      periodize your week. Three session days, three recovery day. Recovery days should be EASY. No faster than conversational pace. Session days should be HARD, push yourself. Add 2-3x lifting in there, some people prefer to lift on their easy days, some one their hard days (I liked to lift on my easy days).

  • @kylef6323

    Hey Nick what do you think about supplementing creatine? After a loading phase of about a week I saw a big improvement in the shorter sprints, especially the 200m.

    • @nicksymmonds
      @nicksymmonds  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      tbh I've never taken creatine. Mostly when it comes up in conversation it is from people trying to bulk up

    Sound great Nick are they safe? You know that there are supplements out there with small dosages of ban ingredients. Even the smallest dosages of those banned ingredients can cause a positive test.

      Its bioavailability when taken orally is only 5-18%. So in large doses, it can be slightly helpful, but you aren’t getting the full effect you may think you’re getting.
