I'm on the verge of committing to walking & racewalking (as intervals) a
half-marathon 7 weeks from now. Kind of a last minute decision as far as
training goes, but I think it may be doable. I generally keep to a low-carb
version of paleo eating--sometimes in ketosis, but usually not. Would
appreciate any helpful info to keep from "hitting the wall." *Real*
racewalking technique demands a lot of energy and can deplete glycogen
pretty fast. I know from last year's training I literally can't stomach
hi-carb sports drinks (even when deeply diluted), GU, or powerbars. The
Wheat Thins that a lot of marathoners rely on are obviously out, too. I
want to stay as close to paleo as possible. Any ideas? Speed won't be too
important to the event (if maybe a widdle important to me <g>) since I'm
only doing a half- and the full-marathon cut-off is 6 hrs. I (barely)
remember an article published last year (in Runner's World, maybe) that
cited research showing that some ratio of pro+carb was more effective
replacement than carbs alone. Anybody know about this? Cordain probably
has some research, but I need to spend more time walking than reading &
researching, so any practical advice that I can test/apply right away would
be very much appreciated.
