you’re not going anywhere.”

I am looking forward to reading Mark Cucuzzella's new book Run for Your Life which is shipping September 18th but can be pre-ordered. In the mean-time check out the website he has set up as there is a lot of info and resources there: Run for Your Life Website. Once I get the book, and read it, I will be doing a review.
Men's and Women's 100K World Championship preview and iRunFar will have live coverage
Speaking of iRunFar.com - they put out a lot of great content and live race coverage so think about being a Patreon supporter

Some tips for avoiding hitting the wall but Jeff Galloway misses one great tip that has helped me in that area, that is to become fat adapted so as to use a much more plentiful energy source, fat, along with carbs. SFuels has a "Quick Start Guide" for changing over to use fat
Speaking of fat adaptation, there are many issues with this article but bottom line is a single athlete having a bad race on a particular diet does not make the diet bad. While they did give at least 21 weeks on a LCHF diet it can take 6 months or more for some people to switch over and as this athlete was a vegetarian and probably was very high on carbs it may take even longer. Then there is the time it takes to dial in your carb intake as it can vary. Bottom line this athlete may have had to go longer to see the results get better. SFuels Triathlete Dr. Dan Plews does triathlons and is LCHF so it can be done just needs to be dialed in.
More LCHF news, Thanks to Dr. Mark Cucuzzella pointing me to the article by Dr. Georgia Ede: Latest Low-Carb Study: All Politics, No Science
