RE: Maffetonovember
As you will discover CC5, glycogen stores run out after about 30 - 36km (say, 20mi), after which you have only fat reserves to burn. Fat reserves can last for days, even running, so the idea is to switch over to fat burning as the principal source of fuel from the outset. This, of course, requires training in the fat burning (aerobic) zone and takes time. A lot of time. Gradually, pace quickens and endurance increases, allegedly significantly.
However, the health benefits also appear profound.
I'll write more soon when I understand it better and have a little more first-hand experience of which to speak.
