I've been training for a 10 mile and then a half marathon later in the summer.

I returned to a low carb diet about a month ago and the weight is coming off but as Tril mentioned, muscle fatigue is an issue and thus my pace has suffered.

I have also found that on my long runs (I do them on Sunday) I just couldn't do it so I've started doing a bit of a carb load on Saturday evening but within reason. I haven't gone out of ketosis yet and I still usually manage to lose a little between Friday & Monday.

I'm not eating anywhere near induction levels either. I have a lot of weight to lose and it is coming off a bit too quick for my liking so I'm eating up to 80 g of carb a day some days to try and halt it (and still going in ketosis).
