Just wanna ask if you have some GI issues like bloating or stomach/intestines churning after taking creatine.
And what is your daily dose? (eg loading phase daily 2 x 5 grams or even 4 x 5 grams, or just normal 1 x 3-5 grams).

I know for things Magnesium Citrate, i have a bit of stomac and intestines churning, that's why i change to Mg Glycinate which is much better. And such churning and kee lee kuu luu extending after 10 to midnight is very detrimental to sleep....end up recovery is screwed.

No GI issue. I am following Coach Perry's recommendation of 5g per day for 4 weeks and intend to lower to 2.5g a day for maintenance after loading period ends.
So I am following a much lower dosage than the usual 20g recommendation for muscle guys' loading.
Also follow @ctan84 advice to make sure it dissolve, for that I am using a shaker and shake the hell out of it. These things are hard to dissolve.

Might want to get a small hand-held blender / beater or those self-stirring coffee cup. Works very very well. My wife uses that for her protein shakes. Shopee got sell, very cheap one.

I think im going for no loading phase, just hoot 3g daily. Absolutely no hurry for me since more or less strength and running/cycling goals met. IF there is additional bonus then is good.

I think from my diet of meats/mackerel/sarines, probably i am getting 2-3g of creatine also.
Actually 1 small can of sardines (90g drained weight) prob around 3g liao. Same for mackerel.
I quite often eat 200g of mackerel on my "mackerel days"....the don don donki ones.

Halo this is Singapore. You know the rules, don't run into dark alleys can liao. In my younger marathoning days, I usually do my very long runs after midnight and end at like 3+ am one. But if it's Potianaks you are worried about, that one I can't help u.

My weekend LSD for SCSM training last time started around 10 or 11pm. Lesser human and bicycle traffic. Since LSD , will end after 1am might reach home around 2 or 3am, coz will sit by the bench cool down or some 24hr kopi tiam before going home. Don't feel it's dangerous.

3am to 5am, actually this timing will have more people exercise than the after 12am. So also feel safe. 5 am will see people exercise liao. 4:30am stadium open already got people waiting outside. safe.

Singapore is generally safe to jog late in the night. Remember when i was younger, i used to jog late in the nights, eg. 11+pm.

But is it good for your body to jog so late ?

I think if you're gal then I worry but guys should be okay.

If encounter Potianak, can trained yourself to run even faster

don't feel anything wrong

from layman understanding, day time with sunlight, there are more oxygen in the air and exposure to sunlight makes the body produce vitamin D. In the morning, sunlight exposure also help to suppress melatonin and increases cortisol.
