Getting the body to understand that or marathon races are never going to happen.

You have to have fat to oxidize it

Good on you if you haven't got any.

I'm not so lucky at the present.

Got a few to burn, I have learned my body does not like anything under 8% over the years and anything over 17% is not cool either.
Just not sure if I am a fan of fasted training or not yet. It is effective and has its appeals. The problem that arises is that late day fatigue from lack of recovery it seems, or perhaps over exciting the cns. Really have not experimented or researched it enough yet.

Seems to be the rage at the moment.

Are you, or one of your clients, playing around with it?

Can relate to that. Not sure if its a mental or physical thing harking back to when I was pretty obsessed with super low bod fat levels.

All depends on what you take in just before, how much training you do, food consumed afterwards & how long you've given yourself to adjust to it.

Never thought it had gone out.

Are you,

Every workout leading up to this years coal race. Up at 4am, downed some water then some Scivation Xtend (or some mad BCAA mix Scott sent me) whilst I warmed up & then off to train. Training so early made it impossible to get in any sort of nutrition that wouldn't leave me wanting to hurl more than I already felt like after running with that sack on my back. And all done caffeine free as well

OOOHHH NOOO, don't do things like that. That isn't for me.

Hats off to you bro. I did it for a stretch back in the day, but it was assisted with a eca stack

Yes fasted training has been popular for a while, but it was usually regulated to cardio work. Only recently it seems the craze turned to including iron in the mix. Of course supplement companies are helping push the craze along at the moment.

Don't think my delicate disposition could handle eca these days.

No doubt the supplement companies are doing it via products loaded with our favourite compound 1,3 Dim

Nicely put, think we are on the same level.
