After that, I'll need to rework my HR zones, threshold, VO max, and as I mentioned figure out the best way to do this with my keto-ish diet.

I'm kind of playing with this. I've never been an anti-carb person. Actually argue against low carb people when they say there is no use for carbs. But my activity level has severely dropped and I obviously started putting on lbs. Figured I'd hit the gym while it's hot and I'm too lazy to do the endurance stuff. Been very low carb just to straighten up my horrific eating habits which are only acceptable when training 12+ hours a week.

But yesterday I did a 30 minute run on an off day from the gym. Just eating very low carb for 4 days and it was a miserable feeling . A lot had to do with the heat, but I really felt out of it.

I'd like to get down to 160 again (upper 170's now) to do a Marathon and half iron in the spring, so some training will probably overlap with me still being on this diet. Hoping I'm still in the phase of getting used to the new diet. Not strict Keto or anything, but eating as few carbs as possible to help reduce calories. I've heard of the "Keto Flu" and don't think I have that since it's only during activity, but at the end of the run, it felt like that.
