Low Carb (Paleo) Half Marathon Report
"Ignoramus12690" wrote in message ... I ran a half marathon today, in Quad Cities. Some highlights: - next to no carbs eaten yesterday and today (due to eating no vegs to avoid "runners trots" that I had on my previous extended run) - No Gatorade - No bonking - Ran without stopping even for a second - 2:08:50 running time - Feeling very good afterwards Congratulations on a phenomenal accomplishment! At my current weight, I can't imagine running a mile (though I have biked 80+) and to do a half marathon is really cool. I appreciate the nature of your experiment, too, since I have usually followed long rides with too many carbs, thus never really finding out how my body will react ...... your experiment compels me to do the same myself next time out. Good job! -- John V. LC - on and off, mostly on lately, as of 1/2/04 262/250/175 |

I appreciate that you are using the term "experiment" in a mainstream
manner, but that lends more credibility than it deserves. Yours is a case study. Anecdotal information at best. "Ignoramus12690" wrote in message ...

Thanks! To me, running 13 miles, as such, is not as compelling as running 13 miles to conduct an interesting experiment. I am becoming more and more convinced that, at least for my body, LC living is the natural mode of living, not just a "gimmick" to explore a "metabolic loophole". If I were you, I would start carefully experimenting with LC biking. You might find that LC biking is where you avoid bonking. Of course, as in any new activity, it pays to be careful and cautious! i |
