Running and Low carb
I dont know if this Q has been asked/addressed but in my 4 days of internet research I'm still void of an answer to the following two questions:
I run about 20-40 miles per week, have completed two full marathons and countless half marathons. I just started my LC diet to curb my dependency and cravings.
1) since I have never trained on a LC diet, do I need to introduce carbs in my training - AT ALL? I know I should if my runs are to be over 60min for extra energy at. But what about the 4 or 6 mile runs. Will a piece of fruit after be good or bad for my ketosis?
2) who best serves the "induction phase" part of Atkins? I have been taking in about 20-40 in the beginning...does this mean I'm kicking myself in the foot already?? I just figured with all the running, I need a bit more carbs than the avg dieter...
Any insights?
