You should be able to fast and train. Just train at about 80-90% effort compared to what you would normally do. I ride my bike while fasting and am usually 10-20% slower over a 50km ride compared to when I am carbed up. That’s about normal. Relying on stored fats rather than glucose means you have a very large reserve of energy, its just that you cant convert it to energy as fast as glucose of glycogen. With regular ketogenic training you can be about 95% effort compared to fully carbed up. Chris Froome (tour de France winner) regularly trains in a ketogenic state.
Hi, I run a few times a week around 5.5 miles each time but always in the mornings. I cant bear the feeling of running on an empty stomach so What I found works for me is a small fruit breakfast and I mean small, 1 baby satsuma,small kiwi and a couple grapes with a spoon of alpro yoghurt with almond ( it’s only 54 cals per 100g but I don’t put that much on) a cup of coffee then out the door. Personally running doesn’t make me hungry so I just drink loads of water all day then a low cal salad for tea. It has worked for me so far
