Low carb and endurance running -- results of my experiment

Also, even if someone did it, I was still curious if *I* can do it. 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 Phil M. -- "Learn from the mistakes of others.

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. ;-) 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 |
