On the back of the newest Track and Field News is an advertisement for Muscletech's GAKIC. It has runners in the add, but when you research it a bit, most people take it when lifting. It says "clinically proven to instantly increase strength by 10.5% and proven to delay muscle fatigue by up to 28%". I went to the website and it says wada and all NCAA clears this with drug testing. On another site some guy said he took it right before a 1/2 marathon and went from 1:59 to 1:43! Has anyone taken this for workouts? It's not meant for daily use, just for stressfull days apparently. I usually just say "good diet is the way to go", but the add caught my attention.
Gakic Supplement for running?

Anything that is legal is just a waste of money.

it doesn't work. Oh, the actual nutrition may aid performance, but it is so foul tasting you can't ingest it but for the gagging and the explosive regurgitation.

Saw the add again the this month's T&FN for Gakic. Appears to be more for explosive exercise. Any middle distance runners used this with any noticeable improvement? It is pretty expensive.....$75 for about a month's supply. It also suggests 8 pills per serving.....holy crap. If you survive the choking, do you think it will help? "America's top athletes are taking Gakic before competition." Who would that be? It was forumlated at U of Florida. Are their athletes taking it?
