Just curious if there are folks here who participate in endurance sports while doing keto. Any tips on getting started with keto and training (I will be doing a winter race series starting near the end of February, and am looking at doing my 2nd full marathon in mid-May) and things you wish you knew when you started would be helpful! TIA!

    While I'm not sure if it's considered endurance, I am a fairly seasoned half marathoner. This will be my first winter on keto and training, so I'm glad to work through things with a partner. I've got a race a month scheduled between now and May - 2 5K (Feb, and Mar), a 10K (April) and the half in May.

    I would love some tips as well. While I have been working out consistently since starting Keto in April, my running has been limited to some warm-ups and HIITs on the treadmill during boot camp classes. Looking to run a marathon Hoping to run a marathon in November.

    Read The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance by Phinney and Volek. If you are new to keto, a race at the end of Feb. is too soon to even fully become fat adapted.

    I'm a long distance triathlete (Ironman distance) but I am just switching over to ketogenics. I'll certainly post updates.

    I have run a half marathon and several 10K, 15K on keto, moderate distance, but still. Once fat adapted you will be just fine without eating during the run, only pearl of wisdom: salt tablets
