Good day!

In principle, I’m against “fasted running” (with the exception of light running exercise, 2-3 kilometers, before breakfast))).

If we say about such a distance as a half marathon on an empty stomach, I think it’s a deeply wrong approach that can do only harm. I won’t describe mechanisms of negative influence in detail but say it is connected with energy metabolism.

Heavy Legs. What to Do?
Question:

Good afternoon.

My legs feel heavy after 10 km running and it becomes harder and harder for me to continue running. In the result I literally drag my feet at the end of a half-marathon distance, what to do?
