It's official - low carb does not work with long distances

2:36 AM
I went for another long run today, and it was absolutely apparent that you (at least *I*) need carbs for any kind of speed. I ran for about 80 minutes and walked for about 80 more. Luckily I had taken in some carbs before and during, otherwise I would have just passed out, I believe. 

So the lesson I've learned is that I FIRST need to lose weight (through my low-carb diet and slow running), THEN I can work on speed and/or distance. Without the carbs, it just doesn't feel very good at all.
