  When you’re actually working out a lot, you need carbs … especially starchy, long-lasting carbs.

  And not just to have energy to burn during your workout, either. Rebuilding muscle requires protein to supply the building blocks, yes, but it also requires energy to assemble those building blocks together.

  A diet tuned for a rigorous workout regimen needs both protein and carbs.

    I ran my last marathon on keto and it was fantastic. Five stars, would recommend to anyone. There was just no slowing down and I didn’t even notice the wall around the 20 mile mark. Where glycogen is finally burned out.

    I didn’t find it sustainable as a lifestyle though because I eat in other peoples homes a lot. And it’s just rude to not eat what they put in front of you. Eating out was just strange as well since I would just eat the protein and leave the sides. Or ask to substitute whatever it was with salad.
