Runners don't have problems eating at maintenance because they burn more
calories than the average couch potato?

PLEASE!

Well for whatever reason, none of the people in my running club are fat, and
none of them need low carb diets to stay in shape. The fact that their running
burns 3,000-10,000 calories a week might have *something* to do with it, what
do you think ?

Yes, a very good idea.

to compare.

As for the muscle function, I do 50 pushups and 12 pullups per set
every day (2 sets of pushups and 3 sets of pullups). If anything,
pushups became a bit easier on LC.


Any you measure this how? I'd bet a bundle of money it's because you are
getting stronger simply from doing them and had nothing to do with LC.
Said differently, prove it was LC? Bet you can't!

Please, there is enough crap on the internet. If you don't have a clue
about something you are not helping by giving an answer, and most of
us can tell you don't have any accurate or personal information.

Then please enlighten us we are all open minded.

Also, if I wanted to again participate in a 5K race, i would
definitely eat carbs prior. 5k is a very short run that is run at high
intensity. I could never run much longer distances at high intensity,
high or low carb.

I'm begining to think you are trolling!!
