different results.You are right and I agree with you that different people thrive on
different things. I am absolutely unconcerned that some people run
very fast and eat carbs. I have no idea whether I would run faster if
I ate more carbs. Even if that was the case, the value of running
faster is rather small for me. I do not care much about being a fast
runner. I run for pleasure, and a little bit for weight maintenance.
Actually, I can't even run slow without carbs, as evidenced by my year long
experiment. Almost all of my running was geared toward long distance events.
Like I said, people will be different. The "Slow Burn" guy Stu Mittleman
don't need many carbs.
The idea that you train your body to burn fats better in the absence of
carbs goes against physiology. The body *always* burns fats when it can and
preserves carbs for "fight or flight". The presence of glycogen doesn't mean
the body will burn that first -- unless the pace is too high to burn fats.
The best way to train the body to burn fats, and to train the slow-twitch
muscles, is to run slow.
For me, running slow apparently requires some carbs also because I had a
horrible year on low carb, even the last 6 months of which when I was doing
a TKD. I suppose I'm doing a TKD still but only in the way I eat - I'm
nowhere near ketogenic and haven't been for a long time. The exercise
metabolism digests carbs differently during and for up to one hour after,
and this is what I focus on.
