Congratulations!
I'm sure you are familiar with Gov Huckabee
losing 110 pounds and running a marathon. He has a remarkable story as you do.
BTW, marathon runners use energy a lot like Honda hybrid cars.
Utlimately, all energy in a car is from the tank of gas, but some can be held in reserve in the batteries. It's never electric-only, but the IMA assists the gasoline engine.
The marathon runner's training conditions him to burn fat along with glyocgen the last six miles of the run when you "hit the wall". Glyocgen = gasoline - fat = batteries. Fat/batteries are not as efficient, but they are a reserve to tap when you need energy from all available sources.
Marathon runners also learn to maintain a good cruising speed....
