I'm looking to start hm training in December for a race in May. This will be my first. I am a lchf, keto lifestyler, have been for nearly 3 years, fat adapted and don't plan on changing that up. Is it possible to do a hm in either a fasted state (my preference) or fueled by fats and proteins? Anyone have experiences with this they'd be willing to share?

    what is your current weekly mileage and longest run? presumably you currently run fasted?

    @TavistockToad, I do run fasted. I'm just getting back into running after taking the last 5 months off (no injury, just not a fan of summer running). Longest race was 10k, longest run a little over 9 miles.

    This group isn't very active, you might want to ask the question in the Long Distance Runners group. i know of people who would do a half fasted, if you've always done it in training then it shouldn't be a problem.

    Bear in mind that once you get over 10 km or an hour, the body runs out of glycogen and it's a whole different story to what you've done before.
