I did try taking 5g a day initially, but I found that I got a few odd cramps in my legs and feet. A known side effect for some people. So now I just add to my post run drink. Having said that, I'm pretty much running 6 days a week at the moment, with no noticeable side effects from the creatine this time round. Is it doing any good? Difficult to say really as I have "tweaked" so many things in my running over the last two years that its hard to pinpoint any one thing that has made a positive difference. Will I keep taking it? Yes, probably, it's cheap enough and I'm running well and strong, so I don't want to upset what's working for me, even if I'm not sure what bit of it all is right
Gooner Oct 2024 10:55pm, 9 Oct 2024 21,560 posts	Quote Pin Gooner I'm not disputing that you had the cramps, but cramping as a side effect of normal dosing of creatine has been dismissed as a myth and in fact, the opposite has been shown under differing circumstances, creatine should lessen incidence of muscular cramping, especially in warmer climates.
