Yeah there have been a lot of recent studies that have supported Ketosis in performance! The body has far larger fuel reserves stored as fat than as carbs so it would make sense to me that runners would have prolonged energy while following a ketogenic program. Do you have a link to the study you're referring to? I'd love to read up on it!

It was in a book I read: The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung. Here is an article I found: http://main.poliquingroup.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/2592/Fasting_for_Athletes_Dangerous_or_Good_Idea.aspx
Ahh yes, you mentioned that book, I still have it on my list and I’ll have to get it on iBooks ASAP! Thanks for the article as well!

Anytime my friend! I plan on reading the book soon, I'll let you know what I think!
