LC and running

SWAG

I've read that when marathon runners hit-the-wall, it their transition from
carb based to fat based energy. If you are already in Ketosis when you
start, you would not hit-the-wall.

After switching to my LC paleo diet, I noticed an increase in
endurance. I usually run for 30 minutes. I used to be tired by the end
of the run, but now I feel as fresh as if I just started running. I
cannot scientifically explain why that is so.

Anyway, I would like to experiment a bit and run longer, and maybe run
a half marathon without deviating from my LC plan. Where I end up will
depend on how well it goes as I ramp up the distance.

My question is, can anyone offer relevant personal experiences here?

Another question, at slow running speed, can one run using body fat as
primary source of energy?

The body can not convert fat as fast as it can carbs. I wish it could. I
don't care if you are in ketosis or not. Working out on LC is great, but if
you want to go far and faster, you need carbs. It really is a no brainer.
Unless you think the whole athletic world is wrong.

I think that some carbs are needed, but the amount is under question. I
certainly take in nowhere near the amount of recommended carbs.

I've always wondered - wouldn't alcohol be even better?

if a human being could drink gasoline instead of eating hamburgers to take
in calories, a human being could run 26 miles on about one-twelfth of a
gallon of gas. In other words, a human being gets more than 300 miles per
gallon! If you put a human being on a bicycle to increase the efficiency, a
human being can get well over 1,000 miles per gallon!

The entire medical community is wrong. Why not the athletes who've been
brainwashed by sports physicians/nutritionists as well?
