I have an extensive running background (1/2 marathons and full marathons) and started keto in early to mid July. Since starting my legs have been tired and stiff every run I go on. I am also slow and clumsy in my soccer games, sometimes even falling over myself when I try to accelerate and my legs don’t listen. I am very diligent with my electrolytes, what else could it be?

How do you supplement electrolytes? Lite salt and magnesium citrate/glycinate?
Lite salt, Redmond’s real salt, and mag citrate capsules
How much of each are you getting a day? And how much water are you drinking?
4700mg potassium, 6-8k salt, and 450mg mag, drinking around 130oz a day
Aging? Life happens.
I’m 21
Probably not aging then. LOL
Are you doing full keto? You should be keto adapted by now
Yes 10 net carbs a day
I saw an article that's keto is good for low intensity activates , but im not sure you can check it out
That’s what motivated me in part, but my results have been unsatisfactory
Ask this also over at r/ketogains - they will probably have people that have gone through this to help you/offer advice.
