I am wondering what you mean by "many training runs", though. Is that all your training runs under three hours? All your midweek runs? Everything that you weren't doing the first time? I have done the majority of my training runs low-carb - it's the 12+ milers in the heat that killed me. Even if I was careful the rest of the time, those long runs meant gaining weight, KWIM? And what is LC for you? I can only lose on 25 carb grams per day or less, regardless of how much I am working out. So, even if I'm running on 40-60g per day, I am still gaining rapidly. |
