What advice would you offer to someone who was going to start running while on Keto? Also, any recommendations for adding extra electrolytes to my intake?

    Sorry this is such a late post!
    I used C25K to train before my first 5k in November. Then I just restarted running again after the holidays. I like to add No Salt and Lite Salt to my foods for extra potassium, I occasionally drink Powerade Zero. I generally just try and eat dinner about an hour to 90 minutes before I go running and make sure to drink plenty of water.

    I just started running the end of last year. I want to do a 50k that is down my way in December. I still have 36lbs to loose and need to get my training up. I do most of my runs fasted. The longest I have gone is 22k but it took me 6 hours (well actually I ran 11 and walked back again). Running on keto is possible, you just have to get your body accustomed to it. Twice a week, I run 4km in the morning before anything to eat.

    You can do it. Just start with a small run, maybe a 1k either after eating keto or fasted and see how you feel.

    Running has a way of making you wanting for more :D
