#BONUS – Running A Ketogenic Marathon (Gold Coast) – Aaron Day (FatForWeightLoss)

This episode is a little bonus episode, where I basically do a podcast on a post-race digest, but instead of someone else, I’ll be interviewing myself.

If you’re interested in completing your own keto half marathon or keto marathon in a ketogenic state, then I’ve put together a training plan just for you

Keto Full Marathon 12 Week Training Program

Keto Half Marathon 12 Week Training Program

 

Questions:

1. I always like to have some sort of crazy goal,
   1. that’s usually out of reach of my current potential
   2. or done in a different way
   3. without these goals, I default to being a lazy slob with no purpose.
   4. Goals? ride through Europe, three peaks challenge Melbourne, and recently this marathon.

2. How I got into the ketogenic diet,
   1. King of bananas
   2. implemented during my three peaks training, got a six pack but hit walls all over the place, and decided to put it on the back burner for a while.
   3. Went too low carb, and wasn’t able to burn fat fast enough for the heart rate I was putting out.

3. Training:
   1. Common mistakes I have experienced/see people doing
   2. 3 runs per week
   3. 1 interval run
   4. 1 tempo run
   5. 1 long run
   6. Bike rides
   7. Core workouts
   8. Changes?

4. So, how did the race go?
   1. Fast Half (too fast)
   2. Slow middle, hit a wall around 25kms
   3. Last 7 km finished well
   4. Last 2 km I was finally overtaking others

5. Nutrition for the race
   1. Pre-race almond butter packets and 1 coffee
   2. 4 scoops of low carb fuel by Endura
   3. 1 packet of almond butter mixed with MCT oil
   4. Water at most aid stations after 10kms
   5. A small amount of Endura at aid stations 30kms and 35kms
   6. 2 bottles of water and a high protein bar. (straight away)
   7. Home  – scrambled eggs with butter, ½ avocado, and some camembert.
   8. Final Thoughts  –  Trickle in carbs using a Zach Bitter Approach.

6. Pacing:
   1. Fast half marathon, which felt easy.
   2. Burnt through too much glycogen, which resulted in a 25km wall
   3. Pace went from under 6min km to 6:30, 7, 7:30, at times 8mins
   4. Once I got to the 30km mark, I was able to get my heart rate down to Maff zone, sit in around 7:30min km
   5. Until the last 2kms which I finished in under 6min km.
   6. Final thoughts? A slower start, no crash, strong finish.
