Keto And Runners



Keto And Runners



If you took a class on nutrition, the very first thing you would learn is that there are three sources of calories: carbohydrates, fat, and protein.

As all runners know, carbohydrates are the primary fuel if you want to run fast. But there’s a problem with carbohydrates—your body just can’t store that many.

That’s why hitting the wall, or “bonking,” is such an issue in the marathon.
