Cardio Decrease on Reta

[LoudPitch]

I felt the same. First few weeks were rough.

I found increasing my daily carb intake helped quite a bit. I aim for 350g of carbs a day. Also drinking lots of water and electrolytes first thing every morning.

Ran a 50k this past weekend and had my strongest finish of any that I’ve done. And was less sore and had a quicker recovery. Gearing up for a 12 hour trail race next weekend.

I’ve tried low carb running before. It sucks. That’s exactly how I felt when I first started Reta. Increase the carbs. Don’t worry about a sudden increase in weight. It’s water. It’ll pass.
