I just joined the forum and posted about long distance running...
I ran 3 marathons last year, loosely (very loosely at times) eating a Sugarbusters diet. When I was close to races, I would eat more carbs. I was not very strict about the diet, though I did lose 40-45 pounds.
I am trying to find the balance of being able to lose more weight (another 20) and conitnue to train for marathons.
What I have been doing the past few weeks is similar to what the people on the CKD do. I usually do my long runs on saturday morning (15-25 miles). I will eat more carbs Friday until shortly after the long run. I then go back to LC. Given my training I have cheated a fair amount, which is partly the reason I still need to lose 20 pounds. I am determined to find the right mix. My next marathon is Marhc 29th so I need to figure it out soon.
You'd think running 40+ miles a week, I shouldn't have a weight problem. Go figure.
