Now, I hit the wall, especially when it's hot or I get heated from exercise. I have both low acid-maltase and a glycogen phosphorylase problem.

Especially when it is 100 plus or extremely cold outside. Since I have been diagnosed with MCArdles I have learned that lots of protein and SIMPLE carbs have really helped reduce this feeling. Even when I race a 6 mile run if I protein up and add a little simple carb.... I have enough energy to run and function the rest of the day well...not great. But good enough. “Hitting the wall” I have felt as a runner and is exactly how I feel alot of times when I am not running. Especially when it is 100 plus or extremely cold outside.
