I'll share my story, and see if sounds familiar. Last year, while training for a 10 mile road race, I decided to try and drop some additional weight by going on a short-term low carb diet. I was out for a easy five mile run roughly three days into it, and actually had to stop running! I could not get my heart rate to come down and ended up walking/running the last mile...
Never happened before to me, and never since. I've talked to several power athletes (weights, etc.) who claim not to have that problem, so I'm wondering if it is just us endurance people. I went back to the normal diet the next day and was fine.
Anybody else have a similar experience?
