Default 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?

I'm sure you *can* do it without carbs, or with carbs, or without
calories, or while smoking cigars. If this is your first, then to what
are you comparing it? Are you suggesting that just because you can do it
then low carb must be OK for endurance athletes? I think you would have
to run several half marathons using different diets in order to determine
which one is best for that distance. Even then, there are too many
variables that come in to play from one race to the next and all the
training that takes place in between. JMTC

My objective is to demonstrate that I can run a half marathon on
LC. That would be pretty cool. I have no objective to run fast in that
half marathon.

I, obviously, realize that I cannot compete with athletes, because I
am not an athlete...

But, as a personal challenge type of goal, running 1/2 marathon on LC
-- and showing to myself and others that it is possible -- would be
cool.


OK, I understand your thinking. I'm saying that based purely on your
training you can already do this regardless of what diet you're on.
However, most people (runners, joggers, athletes, non-athletes, whatever)
would want to run a half marathon based on an *optimal* nutritional plan.
If you are attempting to prove which diet is optimal for long distance
running, then that's different. But it sounds to me like you're trying to
prove that low carb is fine for training for and running a half marathon.
If that's the case, then check my sig. At any rate, good luck. ;-)

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.

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.
