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.
