I can't do that kind of math at the end of a 5k or 10k race, and I know that glycogen depletion is not a factor at that point. But my mind definitely gets foggier later in long runs. And, that long run was completely devoid of nutrition. I was only taking in water. I just didn't plan to be out long enough to need calories, so I was definitely glycogen depleted! And I was definitely in a mental fog.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349682601677809433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737587279120391681.post-69166597948735045442011-07-31T20:43:14.681-05:002011-07-31T20:43:14.681-05:00I am SO SO SO glad to know I'm not the only on...I am SO SO SO glad to know I'm not the only one who can't do math toward the end of a "long" (for me) run. Emily H talked to our group (long course tri camp) this weekend about nutrition...she said glycogen depletion causes loss of mental capacity. She said if you have trouble thinking that's a good sign you aren't taking in enough calories. What do you think about that from your experience??Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729198392505371070noreply@blogger.com
