Just get the 600g don't bother with capsules as they're more expensive and creatine is tastless anyway. I would recommend 2kg but you need to make sure you respond well to it first (actually does something for you).
Creatine is a supplement that I would recommend taking all the time (no cycling) and there are no studies showing adverse side effects in healthy adults. This supplement has been used extensively since the early 90's and it has a large body of evidence to support it. I started using it in 92 and I'm still kicking
Mix 5-10g with your during/post workout shake and enjoy.
CEE, is a form of creatine that is getting rave reviews from a lot forums and it has the added benefit of not causing the bloating often associated with mono. It does not, however, have the same scientific backing as monohydrate probably because it hasn't been around for nearly as long. I will probably try it when my 2kg tub runs out... it's already been a year.
As for the dextrose you have the right one. As I stated before it's not ideal preworkout but better than nothing. It's, however, ideal for during and post workout.
Creatine will improve your anerobic performance if you respond to it. Something like 30% of people don't respond well to it. It should give you anywhere from a 10-20% boost which will help you get that extra rep, run that extra lap and in turn build muscle. I wouldn't worry so much about the weighing scales I would instead judge sucess based upon my sucess in training. If you respond well to it you'll love it.
Yeah, I would take the protein/dextrose and creatine shake after running too. Afterall that's training too, right
and you'll need the same glucose and protein to replenish diminished stores and build/save muscle after running.
I'm more in it to stave of the effects of time and trying to look good at the same time. I'm also trying to improve my athletic performance but this is pretty much a pipe dream as I don't think my body can handle the strenuous workouts this requires. My current workout is kicking my ass
