How long would you recommend staying there before overfatiguing the target muscle? (57:27) #Quah question #2 - What's the best program for someone who typically overtrains at the gym and is about to start training for a half marathon?

(1:03:39) #Quah question #4 - When should I take creatine? I used to stack it with my pre-workout but heard somewhere that the two fight for bio-availability so you don't get the full benefit so I switched to post-workout. Now after hearing about all the cognitive benefits, I'm considering taking it in the morning. I typically work out either at lunch or after work. When would you suggest is the optimal time to take it?
