That 2015->2017 difference is honestly a stranger on the streets difference. Quite amazing what can happen in just 2 years even past adolescence!

Most surprising how well the human body manages to maintain a level blood sugar level like that. Almost like it's what it's built for.

Good luck with the workshop! 🙏

”Honestly, I was quite cranky and irritable the two days following the marathon. "

Having recently done a bakagaijin maneuver in the mountains, this explanation inadvertently came at the right time! 😅

Honestly, I'd be interested on the performance increase of mitochondrial interventions on a further fasted marathon, Since ketosis already has positive mitochondrial adaptations.

Although, there would be some carry over from Zone 2 training, it would still be interesting to see. Something like a 6 month regime of:

Ketosis diet

2x weekly two-Hour Zone two cardio

1x weekly sprint session

Methyline Blue

NAC

Glycine

TMG

Do you have reactive hypoglycemia? There seems to be a drop of glucose to almost 50 after the refeed meal on the libre link chart.

That's the first time I've heard about cortisol dropping during a fast. I think it merits further study. Would you consider monitoring it during another fast? I think many people drink tea/coffee on fasts which aren't really fasts so would be interesting to see what happens on an electrolyte only fast.

Great read Joseph. On a side note, what garmin watch do you have and how have you found it? Looking to invest to help my half marathon training

Hi! Any chance I could listen to this post? I don’t have time to read day to day due to my job, would be very helpful for myself and others if there was an audio version. Thanks!
