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.

yeah, i shed electrolytes insanely, and without replenishing i hit the wall badly. i regularly run 10-15 miles on 16 to 24 hour fasts and firmly in nutritional ketosis. but without electrolyte supplementing, I'm toast.
i've been running with a nerdy hydration belt --it's the camelback with four 8oz bottles. i usually do two with high electrolytes (just salt and potassium citrate + real lemon and stevia or similar). I'll also do all four electrolytes and carry a 32oz frozen water bladder that i can refill or just fold up along the way. no keto flu type issues when i do these things. and the ice keeps me cooler in miserable months.

Glad I've found this thread. I'm nto training for any specific but always training.
I usually just eat whatever because I stay active but over the last 7 days I thought I'd try the Keto thing on a whim. I am all out of whack starting yesterday. Funny taste in my mouth and super tired but can only sleep in 2 bursts. I'm not sure how long I'll keep going but thought it would be interesting to see what happens.
So back to the training thread.
Mon:Plyometric training. lots of jumping and with upper body and core mixed in.
tues: track work
Wed: more plyometric work
Thurs: parking garages/hillwork
Fri: 1hr tempo
Sat or Sun: long run which varies.
I love the plyometric work. I feel that's where I build a lot for strength and endurance.
