For endurance athletes are there any beneficial supplements that one would take? I'm already eating a proper balanced diet and that has worked for me so far.

I don't lift, I sprint. Just looking for opinions from other non-BB's out there.

You really should lift. You're basically using your hamstrings the whole time you sprint, so SQUATZ can really, really help

You really should be lifting. One of my friends is a sprinter on the track team and he lifts 5 days a week. (lower/upper/lower/upper/lower body)

Creatine really helps in this aspect. Your body uses ATP for energy, but this substance only lasts around 10secs if you're going all out, this is why you can only sprint all out for short distances. Creatine suppliments increases the amount of ATP you can store.

When you take creatine, it's often advised for bodybuilders to take a loading dose when you start off - don't do this, this is only effective if you want to get bulky. For endurance it's best not to take a loading dose.

Also generally getting stronger, especially in your legs will be really beneficial for sprinting.

Hope this helped!

OP here

Guess I should have formulated that better, I do spend time in the gym, just for different purposes than most people on /fit/

My question was, do you need (legal) supplements for reasons other than xbox huegness.

Also a protein powder will generally help you build up muscle and get stronger quicker.
