71. Zero-Carb Marathon Training

from Running Lean · host Patrick McGilvray

I recently decided to do a little nutrition experiment on myself. I trained for a marathon while following a zero-carb diet, and then I ran that marathon without carb-loading and without the use of any fuel at all. Why would I do this? How did my training go? How was the race? Did I crash and burn? Is this something you should consider trying for yourself? In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I answer all of those questions and share the results of my experiment training for and then running a marathon without the use of carbohydrates as fuel.
