Creatine supplementation supports strength, power and sprint performance so it can be beneficial to runners in the context of finishing an endurance event with a sprint. It also supports glycogen (stored form of carbohydrate) synthesis which is important for endurance events as glycogen supports our energy levels. Creatine is a beneficial supplement therefore for the sprinters and more endurance-based runners among us. When taking creatine, it’s important to remember to take it consistently and with fluids.  

 Most creatine supplement users start their daily routine by taking their creatine in the morning along with breakfast. However, you may have it after a run or as part of your pre-run supplement intake. Carbohydrates support the absorption of creatine so taking them alongside one another can be useful.

Meeting protein needs on a daily basis is important for all runners to prevent injury and support health.Recommendations around protein intake for runners sits around 1.6g of protein per kg of bodyweight. This can be obtained from food sources like poultry, fish, tofu as well as getting support from high quality protein powders and products. 

There are a variety of different benefits of taking collagen as a runner. Our Kinetica Collagen product range target specific issues:  

Kinetica Collagen Shots contains 20g of hydrolysed bovine collagen and 50mg of Vitamin C which contributes to the formation of collagen. Shots of collagen can be administered during periods of high training volume as they may aid in the prevention and even healing of joint injuries. 

Kinetica Collagen Powder is a daily joint and muscle support supplement developed in partnership with Performance Nutritionist and Kinetica Ambassador Daniel Davey. Taking one scoop daily over a consistent period of time will support overall joint health. 

Staying hydrated helps to minimise the risk of fatigue and potentially cramping. As we all know, water is your best friend when it comes to hydration. However, some runners need a little more hydration to replenish the electrolytes lost during an intense workout or an endurance event. Consuming electrolytes will support rehydration more effectively than water on its own. As carbohydrates are important for fueling endurance events, Kinetica Sports’ Energy powder can support hydration and energy needs. Given its Citrus flavour it goes really nicely with our Electro-C so you can cover all of your needs when out for long runs or heavy training sessions.   

Don’t let a dip in hydration stop you from reaching your next personal best. Our hydrating drinks offer a much-needed boost when you are running out of energy or hitting a wall in your training session.
