I usually run about 30 miles a week, with some strength exercises here and there, but I want to start doing more weights and calisthenics and after a run (I'd rather do them post run), I'm just too exhausted. I use to be an adherent to ephedra and the prolonged energy it gave me, but thanks to some dumbasses who ate ephedra pills like M & Ms and croaked, they're off the market.
Red Bull and Redline just don't cut it me.
What supplement is out there that you'd recommend?

Not sure about running but to get the most out of a workout (weights), take NO explode 20 min prior. You get awesome pumps and a big boost of energy. Has a downside at the end though....you feel like shit about 10 min after the workout.

i don't know much about it anymore, but when I was in college playing baseball, we use crietene(sp) gum. we would chew a piece before we worked out and after and for being a skinny ass white boy, i gain some muscle and looked pretty damn good. don't know if they have it or where to get it, but you don't get bloated with all that water from the other crietene.

No Xplode didn't work for me. It wouldn't do shit with 1 scoop or 2 scoops, but 3 worked well...until I was fucking wired until 1am every night. There was no happy medium for me with that shit.
If you work out in the morning, No Xplode could be good.

I have tried all the NO products, and SuperPump is friggin insane ... every time I've achieved a personal best in any weight lifting, it's been during a workout after doing this stuff. The only drawback is it gives me the shits.
SuperPump = Superdump
bigreds daddy
SuperPump 250 by Gaspari.

You should just cut back on the run a little, so you have the energy to work out. Your body is made only to do so much. The best way to extend how long you can work out, is to push it a little each day till your satisfied with how you feel and look. After that all you have to do is maintain your diet and workout.
Supplements like the ones your talking about only do damage. Either in the long run or during your workout. At the most you should only have to take basic protein supplements (like syntha 6), amino acids, and vitamins. All this stuff has to be taken properly too.
The worst part of your question
You stated that you run 30 miles a week, so your obviously in good shape. Why would you want to take this bullshit then? The only way to look good, stay healthy, and feel good, is with a proper diet and to stay active. You already push your body physically, now do it mentally. I promise your feel so much better, then taking that bullshit. Also lets not forget the hangover some of these energy supplements give you.

btw - i am running the SL Marathon on Saturday. Training has been spotty but hometown marathons are a must.
Thanks, $OC$. I'm going to check it out on the website.
I ran the LA Marathon back in March and it took weeks for me to recover. And I think it may have been attributable to poor training. I was out running when I was too tired (even without calisthenics) and so I kind of strained one achilles and one hamstring and ultimately, paid for it on race day.
I think I'm going to cut the running a little and concentrate on muscle building a little more. Usually, I'd go to Santa Monica beach, run along the path, and then towards the end, do some calisthenics on the bars and rings. I want to increase the time and effort doing those, but again, I've been too worn.
We'll see.

Its creatine with a delivery system that will spike your insulin levels (so your muscles grow) and make you hold some water giving you more endurance and increase your strength.
I take a scoop and a half before then after my workout another scoop and a half. After your done with your CELL TECH make sure you get a protein shake (very important). Drink alot of water during your workout........
Dam thats alot of drinkin
GL
Get yourself some CELL TECH.

Cell Tech is great, just make sure to stop using after 4-5 weeks and take a 1-2 weeks off. That shit is hardcore. It fucks you up after extended use. Tons of side effects. Took it for 10 weeks once and I was fucked up.

I'm gonna go with the depeche mode and recommend water. With all the running you do, try pilates to stretch yourself out a bit. I'm sure your legs are in great shape, so I'd concentrate on upper body. The main thing is to stay loose. Pushups and arm curls, sure, but don't forget some neck rolls (side to side, back to front, all around) and some situps. After every workout/run, you should have had enough water that you have to piss.............

correct, good food, good grain and lots of clean meat, with whey protein shakes, none of that other bullshit. maybe creatine ethyl ester for a month if your really advanced.
hell you can still eat restaurant food even or a milkshake here and there...
