re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I like the meathead title. I won't be getting swolt anytime soon.

Running Log:
dragged my arse out of bed at 5 and hit the road by 6 this am. I mostly beat the rain. Had a nice drizzle for a few miles. I'm shocked at how cool it is in Atlanta right now. Freaky.

I'm doing some experimenting with long slow runs and fasting. Ate good fatty dinner last night (salmon and some olive-oil soaked brussels with bacon and bleu cheese) around 7:30pm then had full-fat Fage w macadamia and dark chocolate. stopped eating around 8:30pm. Didn't eat again until a couple hours after my run.

I took a shot of MCT and a half scoop of BHB salts pre run. Didn't feel remotely fatigued until about mile 16. I'm trying to sort of set a baseline for running on ketones, so I can calibrate any targeted glucose intake for events and higher intensity (or any intensity, compared to this slow and steady tortoise run--kept HR in low zone at least):
