Reddit reviews Primal Endurance: Escape chronic cardio and carbohydrate dependency and become a fat burning beast!

Read Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint and Primal Endurance. Follow the peer-reviewed science he references, rather than a few n=1 anecdotes here. Even if the personal stories and advice here are correct for most, knowing the how and why of it is amazingly empowering. Everything you need to know is in these two books, or in the science-based knowledge to be gained in the references within them. Most of what we thought we should be doing 40 years or even 10 years ago has been thoroughly updated and upgraded, if not totally debunked with better understanding of exercise physiology, based in much improved science/data.

Check out the book Primal Endurance.

Not necessarily keto but covers how to do endurance sports with fat as primary fuel. Lots of good applicable stuff.

I've been looking into getting into running, but having little experience, I don't want to push myself too hard or in the wrong direction. This new book by Mark Sisson (of Mark's Daily Apple and Primal Blueprint fame), seems to go into a non-carb based training regime for endurance running, without breaking your body. While he doesn't go keto, he is pretty low carb, compared to the general population, so I think these would be great principles to follow when I'm down to running weight.

As a counter to that video try watching this one. http://www.hulu.com/watch/901752 or read this book http://amzn.com/1939563089

Primal Endurance might be helpful for you, it is more distance running and cycling focused, but could be useful.

Excellent question. I highly recommend nearly all your training be done using the Maffetone heart rate formula: 180-age as your max heart rate. This will seem slow but is key to fitness.
