Runners on high fat

sirsuggs

Hi, everyone. I finished training for and running my first marathon over the summer. Before that I was doing the keto diet but switched off of it since everything I read said I would need a lot of carbs to train. I still plan to run a lot and might be doing a half marathon in January. Are there any other runners or highly active people who are on the Keto diet? How has your performance been with your body using fat for fuel?

Also, feel free to add me as a friend.

I started LCHF on yesterday and would love to know the answers to these questions also. I'm about to start training for my first marathon. Thanks!

I suggest you re-post your question on the main low-carber forum group here in MFP:

There are something like over 20,000 members in this group many of whom are very active.
