Episode 111 - The Truth About Creatine and Speeding Up Injury Recovery


Listen Later

Welcome to another edition of the OCR Underground Show. Your best training resource for Obstacle Course Racing. I am getting ready to head up to San Luis Obispo this weekend for the Spartan Beast. In fact I am teaching the OS course on Friday 11/1. If you are in the area and want to come play on the obstacles click here to register.

In this episode I share some information on creatine. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements on the market. Yet there is still a ton of misconceptions and misinformation on the product. Unfortunately many companies using marketing tactics to make their brand seem more effective. Is it all true? I share some great resources to help you understand what exactly you should be concerned with or not when taking creatine.

Recently I had to overcome a significant muscle injury. It came up in the middle of my Beast training which was not ideal. Luckily I did a few things to help me bounce back as quickly as possible. I didn't even have to miss a softball game which was great. While recovering from any injury takes time, there are things we can do to control how long that time is. In this episode I share my strategy that helped me overcome this injury and get back to my training in just a few weeks.

Enjoy the show!
