Can you give any detail? Was it just a matter of getting the body used to burning fat? was it a trial and error on diet? was it running at 75% max like I have recently read about (where you train LC and run 75% and then when you race you run hard and load up with carbs- supposedly makes you so much more efficient at burning carbs for fuel on race day)
It will be interesting to see how I run when I am down 50 or 60lbs. Obviously I wont need as much fuel because I will be a lot lighter- I am looking forward to finding out.
So any information you could provide would be helpful.
Thank you! |
