Day 77-80, Mon-Thursday, Speck of light

I don't really want to group days together, but then the blog was meant to be about my keto and training experience which have both been pretty minimal.

My bloods have been constantly mid 5'sfor glucose and  0-0.2 for ketones and I have put on about 3 kg.

I have been really struggling to get over this cold probably because I am a bit run down which I added to by pushing to hard on the bike 2 weeks ago.

I did get out for a gentle ride today and I was unable to hold 200watts, that said my heart rate was not high for this effort but I just felt lacking in any power. This lack of energy, on the bike, could be in part due a reversal of my muscles adapting to keto. I have stayed low carb but I have not been exercising so the muscles have not been forced to metabolise fats? I don't know its just a though but at least I had a ride.

7 weeks to Fred Whitton and rather than being excited with the hope of smashing it I am now in that place where I have been so many time before, massively under prepared and wishing I had not signed up..... I will try and get out again at the weekend, not sure I can keep up with JamesS as planned.
