This took me less but I know others who look longer. It should be viewed as a long term commitment!<br />Keep at it, and Good Luck!<br />MalcolmLCHF a Runner's Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093648190232512798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945250539941835071.post-90324186987570474762016-11-10T10:53:18.359+00:002016-11-10T10:53:18.359+00:00I don´t count calories, but I think my diet is in ...I don´t count calories, but I think my diet is in the very very low carb range (no potatoes, sugar, sweets, fruits, rice, pasta, chocolate or cheating whatsoever)Lef0nquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945300482301773009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945250539941835071.post-57533018887151458402016-11-10T10:49:01.602+00:002016-11-10T10:49:01.602+00:00Hi, Malcolm.
Great blog! really helpful.
Can I ask...Hi, Malcolm.<br />Great blog! really helpful.<br />Can I ask you something?<br />I´m 38 years old, been running for 8 years and have run 7 marathons (PB 3:35, last july)<br />I have high blood cholesterol and I don´t want to take statins for the rest of my life, so I decided to try LCHF for the 1st time.<br />It´s been 10 days of LCHF and I´m really struggling with my running. Before LCHF, my easy pace was 5:15/km and I could run 15-20 km @ 4:50/km if I had to. Now, I can barely run for more than 50 minutes and my pace is 5:25-5:40/km at best. <br />I bought Tim Noake´s book and I´m following his diet suggestions thoroughly. Can´t complain about being hungry or any mood swings, but the slow running is troubling me.<br />- How long did it take you to run at your former pace after switching to LCHF? <br />- How you lost weight after LCHF? I haven´t, yet<br />Thanks and sorry for my English (not my 1st language)Lef0nquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945300482301773009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945250539941835071.post-62504190743500516192016-09-07T11:46:37.802+01:002016-09-07T11:46:37.802+01:00Agree with everything you have said here.

I am loving both the diet and training, although I am currently injured haha. <br /><br />http://ketogenicendurance.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130566052387176487noreply@blogger.com
