I did a one week Buchinger fasting and did several long distance runs (as I always do) after 2 days fasting. (after switching to cetogen burning) I noticed a small decrease in power, but in no way this was a no go. It was actually fun.

Likewise, I found my energy was slightly lower but it was also very consistent. Like burning hardwood. You don't get explosive power, but you can go steady without hitting walls.
