Description

After a listener question about training logs, we dive into a controversial topic: diet trends. We are not registered dietitians, so please always defer to a sports RD for individual advice. Here, we take a hard look at what the evidence says on glycogen depletion training, fasting for runners, and low-carb diets. 
Discussion points include:

Glycogen depletion runs

Intermittent fasting and fasted running

Keto/high-fat-low-carb

How restrictive diets can affect athletic performance

Why carbs help your running

How many carbs runners should eat
