Low carb and endurance running -- results of my experiment
Ignoramus26859 wrote:
So, I asked a question on alt.support.diet.low-carb and rec.running on whether running a *half marathon* on LC was possible. Haven't these sort of experiments already been done? Phil M. -- "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself." *Martin Vanbee |

Hmmm David ... that's just off the wall wrong .... your statement is wrong
.... wrong ... wrong ... geeezzz The human brain functions quite nicely on ketones. Why would you make such a statement without at least doing preliminary research? That's why I warn people who come to this newsgroup to take what is said here with a grain of salt, cross check what is posted here, make sure what is being stated is true. Placid "David" wrote in message ... Yes... of course it's possible. Why anyone would want to do it is another question. You need a minimum of 120 grams of carbs per day just to support normal brain and muscle function... let alone run a half marathon. But sure... it's possible. Some guy in London ran a full marathon wearing an old fashioned diving suit complete with the huge brass bell on his head and lead boots. He did it... but I don't imagine he or his body enjoyed it. Much like running on a low carb diet. -- Nova Scotia, Canada |

Placid It's entirely incorrect that the human brain needs 120g of carbs a day just to function. The ONLY time in the last few YEARS I've gotten that much carb is on my long bike ride days and a few periodic splurges of carbs. Other than that, I stay well under 120g a day of carbs, and I feel great. In fact, on low fat, I had the 3pm sleepies, which are completely gone on low carb. Excessive carbs are very bad for you. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |
