I run long distance and the paleo diet works for me as long as I keep up my
carbs for my long runs of more than 10 miles. I really do have to focus on
eating lots of fruits, veges and nuts to compensate or I lose weight very
fast. I find I have to eat a bowl of oatmeal a couple of hours before a
very long run or I just zap out after a couple of hours of running. During
long runs I eat dried fruit, after 2 hours out I do take a packet of salt.
Haven't read the Paleo for Athletes yet..hope I get it for xmas from one of
my sons. :)
