I have found since starting LC just under 3 weeks ago that my running has gone BACKWARDS I,m so low on energy and the heavy legs. I started a thread about heavy legs and have found potassium has made them feel better. I may try upping my carbs a bit just before a run and see if that helps. But I,m not going to worry about it for the next week or so as I,m going back on strict induction to get over these last 3 days of muffins and a sandwich.

Climbergirl, you have good advice about the shoes - a proper fit can make all the difference. Greytscott, you might also want to try a stiffer shoe - maybe the ones you are wearing are too flexible, making your foot slop about. Or, if you,re in a stiff shoe (i.e. a stability or motion control shoe) you might try a neutral shoe - it will allow your foot to move in a more natural way. And, to get a bit personal and yucky here, keep you toenails REALLY REALLY short! Spenco also make some good inserts.
