Q&A #111 - Build, then recover vs. consistent training load; Creatine for endurance athletes (that lift weights) 

• Is it better to work to a 2-1 or 3-1 "build-then-recover" training model, or to keep training load and volume consistent across a larger number of weeks? 
• Is creatine supplementation beneficial for endurance athletes doing concurrent resistance training in order to improve strength gains?
