I've actually started eating chocolate - but the highest density cocoa ones that I can get hold of, typically 85-90% cocoa rather than the cheap high sugar stuff..

I use my local one. As you say, the dumbbells are very light, but apart from that they do alright. Cheap as chips too and open 24/7.
Yeah i'm a member of the one in Liverpool 1. Not too bad, gets quite packed, literally rammed around peak hour.
Maximum 30kg dumbells, they have 2 racks and 1 smith machine so you do have the opportunity to bladder the weight on them. Free weights area isn't as big as it should be in Liverpool
But for £15 and the facts its 30 seconds from mine I can't complain

Anyone got any info on using Creatine ? Experiences ? ...
In the last couple of days i've started to use it, obviously in the ' loading ' phase for a week. Currently drinking gallons upon gallons of water and find myself constantly farting. Drinking so much water that im pissing every couple of hours, its crazy.

Signed up for the Liverpool Marathon today, was supposed to do San Diego half Marathon at the start of this month as I'm in The States with work but was on duty that weekend.
I've never ran further than 12/13 miles before so I know it's going to be hard but I've downloaded a 12 week programme.
I'll be over the moon once I've done it as its a ridiculous distance, fair play to anyone who's done one, but I'm not really looking forward to the training part!

I used it when I was away with work years ago. I didn't really like it as I didn't see much difference.
I done 4 and a half months in Afghan and the lad I trained with used it, we both started pretty much the same level. He got stronger quicker and looked quite a bit bigger at the end of it. So it worked well for him.
We both plateud around the same weights we were lifting by the end of it, he lost his strength and size quicker when he sacked training off once he got home. Probably the only down side for him.
Probably works different for different people, depending on your body type. I might have used it wrong though.
Are you taking it with protein?

Pretty rare to have a bad reaction to it.
I use it, but only 4-5g/day, nowhere near the 20g or so that some folk do.
It's generally accepted that creatine works for most people.
Here's a good link to explain what Creatine does and how it works
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne13.htm
When using it for bodybuilding purposes, you need to make sure your workouts are utilising higher reps, don't work out in the 6-8 rep range or you'll get no benefit from it. Creatine helps strength endurance (10 reps and up), you can get an extra rep or two out if you're on it and respond well to it.
If you eat a lot of red meat, you might not notice much notable benefit form supplementing creatine.

You'll be fine. My longest run was 15 miles for my recent marathon, although I did go up to about 21 miles when I trained for the one before. The longer the race the more you have to respect pacing and holding back at the start.
In a marathon the first 10k should feel really easy, start working the 2nd 10k, keep it steady in the 3rd 10k, then the last 12k you should still have plenty something left in the tank, because it starts to hurt in those last few miles, but if you've judged it properly then you should not fall apart (too much).
Listen to podcasts like Runner Academy while training and you can pick up loads of good tips.
Don't think that's true.

I've been loading for the last few days using 20g a day. Taking 5g every 4 hours or so.
My plan
Week 1 - 20g a day (5g x 4)
Weeks 2 to 8 - 5g a day
Then off for a week. Now my question is, do you go back to the loading phase after your weeks rest from it, or just back to the 5g ? I suppose i could just do a bit of research but thought i would ask in here and get some ideas/advice.
Also... With me now trying Creatine, should i continue taking my Amino Acid supplement or swerve it ? Will it make a difference ? Too much ?
