I have finished already 5 marathons (and going for the sixth this weekend), one of them with Boston Qualifier time. My daily carb is 80, going up to 120-130 only during long (20+ miles) run days, when my daily calory consumption is around 4000.
I followed an LC program that started on 60 carbs, lost 35 lbs keeping it between 60-80, while training for my first half-marthon, marathon. Then another 15 lbs keeping it around 80, and going up to 120 for 20+ miles days.
I am on "maintenance" for two years, keeping down succesfully my weight.
For me the trick: to keep my heart rate down. To teach my body to run faster and faster more effectively - but keeping the heart rate on the same level.
LC does not means - in any program - keeping introduction level carbs for a life.
But definitely Kaypeooh (Maureen) is the real expert here:-)
