Hi

I'm hoping to do the London Marathon in April, I find running is the best exercise for me to lose weight but I seem to be finding it quite hard on the Atkins diet as I quickly get tired early into the run. Has anyone got any advice for long distance running and being on the Atkins diet - should I increase my carb intake just before the run or after? bounce bounce

Thanks
Lesley
