I tell you what.. those fasted runs in the morning, especially in the heat, are HARD.
It's interesting to run in a fasted state. It's very difficult especially when you try and run hard. So it's interesting to say, put a "governor" (speed limiter) on your engine, using a nutritional strategy (ie fasted state), and then see how you perform. I did this a few other times with decent results. Going to keep messing around with it for a bit, but being extremely cautious not to wreck my stomach. I think I have that figured out though: can't train too long & have to avoid caffeine. The morning fasted workouts have to be shorter. They can be hard, but not like 2-3 hours. <= 1 hour seems do-able (with only a small amount of that work being hard, if that). Also, if stomach is rumbling really bad, probably best to skip the fasted run - or eat something. Running with your stomach rumbling prior, means it could go nuclear.
