London Marathon - thinking of entering
I'm thinking of entering for the London marathon in April.
I know there are many people here experienced in combining distance running and a lowcarb WOE, especially by cycling carbs. Is there a book or URL that gives helpful info on this? FWIW, I'm now up to 8 miles on weekends, 6 miles every day (I don't get stiff or sore at this distance). My pace is quite slow, though - 5.5. miles per hour - but then my legs are really short, and this pace takes my heart rate over 150. My current carb intake is around 25-30 carbs per day. I guess what I'd like to know is how far do I have to be running before I need to carb up ahead of time? I've never needed to so far, though some days it's a slog. -- Jane Lumley 179/141/140 |
