I thought I'd never become a runner until I joined a fitness bootcamp. Not only was I proud to be able to run five miles without getting winded; I loved the overall feeling of well-being. Now that I'm on my own (temporarily) I'm hearing one should not run outdoors on cement. However, at bootcamp they claimed it was good for women's bones??? Anyone here have any insight on this? I want to continue running/trotting outdoors but don't want to mess up my knees.

i know i'm going to get yelled at but, although it is possible (as some of you have shown) to do a marathon on low carb, carbs have been the rate limiting factor in things like speed and time to exhaustion. these are very important. so while you can do anything you want, carbs will always make longer endurance excercise easier. again, not magic, but easier.

also, if you wanna kinda guess carb intake per mile, i've seen the number 20 carbs per mile floated around (4calories a gram) makes eighty calories and assuming that the other 20 come from fat. but intensities will change all this. all the best to everyone here, it is quite impressive that you guys have ran so far, i am jealous of that because i could never go past 8 miles on low carbish.
