In reply to Rachel. Hi! Can you tolerate a couple of graham crackers? Even if the run is under an hour, with-in day windows of energy deficiency have negative ramifications on the endocrine system. And then glycogen gets used overnight, having something light before can help her have quality training sessions. Even if you CAN get away not eating before, you aren’t optimizing exercise capacity within training sessions

Just found your blog as I get back into running longer distances after 3 babies and one broken ankle. I have loved IF as a lifestyle but read this and worry about injury per the science you quote. What about for those of us long distance runners who reeeeeeaaaallly don’t like running with food in the belly? Is coffee with 1-2 tablespoons of whole milk sufficient for a 6-7 mile morning run?

Amazing read. I wish I had read this earlier. I have injured my knee and I hope it’s not permanent damage. Keeping fingers crossed.

In reply to Abby Diemar. Thank you so much, Abby! It can be so easy to take the IF bait since studies do show benefits. It is important to read the fine print of the research though!!
