The run went really similarly for me(if that makes you feel any better). It was humid, I hadn't slept much, ate no breakfast, I was trying out those "shoe" contraptions people wear, and the 68 miler still making me feel crappy. Maybe if I picked up a weight once in a while, I could recover as fast as you do.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974878677412703700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-27833250392688030012010-07-17T12:51:01.013-04:002010-07-17T12:51:01.013-04:00There is definitely an adjustment period to the lo...There is definitely an adjustment period to the low-carb paleo-style diets.<br /><br />Mossrunning mentions the Paleolithic Revolution podcast. I think he means Paleolithic Solution. Robb Wolf of the PS podcast has a post here about the Paleo diet and adjusting to it, that might help you out. It also discusses long-term performance on the Paleo diet.<br /><br />http://www.norcalsc.com/index.php/post/norcal_nutrition_are_we_crazy/Tucker Goodrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455436946187786398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-6239914893176496252010-07-17T11:05:56.120-04:002010-07-17T11:05:56.120-04:00my guess is the humidity. how much fluid did you ...my guess is the humidity. how much fluid did you take in? how much came out? was there swampass?Shamus J Babcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977656716129327620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-50681824915738316682010-07-17T10:27:10.387-04:002010-07-17T10:27:10.387-04:00so... paleo diet. were you eating anything on the ...so... paleo diet. were you eating anything on the run, or munching on celery? that could have something to do with it. i am off the wagon right now, but for 2 months lived basically grain and processed food free. just fruits, veg, dairy and meat and i ran and felt better than i ever have, running suffered not one bit, mileage increased, quick recovery etc. i vote fatigue from the long run. nothing to analyze, time to taper. you will not increase your fitness from here on out, it is too late. do some shorter speed runs (3 or so miles), a couple of nighttime hikes in the woods and you're good to go. sleep a lot, eat a reasonable and healthy amount. don't drink alcohol. baby yourself.shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484258407276573441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-51759684788667756052010-07-17T00:06:33.930-04:002010-07-17T00:06:33.930-04:00with it being summertime in houston, I tend to dia...with it being summertime in houston, I tend to dial my long runs back quite a bit, especially when I'm running on electrolytes and water.

Those guys say the first 4-6 weeks can just make you feel crappy. Also, they do not have much great advice for fueling over 1+ hours runs. Performance for them is based on Crossfit routines. It would be great to hear from others who have more experience with the high protein/mixed carb source diet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856636326895963707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-42400129553963781492010-07-16T17:32:13.068-04:002010-07-16T17:32:13.068-04:00Yeah doing sub 7's when you were aiming for do...Yeah doing sub 7's when you were aiming for doing 8 minute miles may have caused some of the fatigue as well. <br /><br />Also, I only eat fruits and veggies and have seen nothing but good things come from it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611329798986755095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-85669907801715682982010-07-16T17:26:19.030-04:002010-07-16T17:26:19.030-04:00For me at least, I find that it helps to start out...For me at least, I find that it helps to start out with a couple easy miles rather than launching right into it and trying to immediately hit a pace... even more so when tired legs are a factor. I learned that one trying to keep up with the teenagers in a local running club. When the pace starts slow I can floor it with them later in the run, but if the pace starts high I end up dropping back to a slower group.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506164487436296711noreply@blogger.com
