Low carb and endurance running -- results of my experiment

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 |

Dally Because it gets the maximum amount of "Hey everybody! Look at me!" My ex-husband used to smoke 2-3 packs a day and ran half marathons and a full one, doesn't make it a good thing. Jenn |

Phil M. I've run distances over 20K while on a low-carb diet which is roughly half a marathon. It's possible but I don't recommend being on low-carb if you are going for good performance. I certainly cannot run distances like I could. As a matter of fact, if I run even 10K I get that annoying overtraining effect where I cannot sleep sometimes for two days. I sometimes feel nauseated after my run and I get a little winded even at a rather slow running speed. And I've been running for 15 years. So now I run a lot less and do far more weight training which I'm able to do as well as ever. No biggie. In absolutely every other way, however, I feel much better on low-carb. My nagging health problems have all vanished. I love to be able to munch away on bacon and pork rinds and still lose weight. |
