Losing Muscle Mass ... fast

Ramadan is about 70% done and I've lost 3 pounds of muscle (definitely not fat!). Went for the saturday evening run with Sam/Laine/Eric/Larry and Fawad and boy did I feel it. The fact that it was 15 minutes post iftaar did not help.

I'd really like to get in on the Seattle Full marathon on Nov. 24th but unless I can regain my core strength I doubt I will be beating my stellar 5 hrs PR. Oh well lets see. I'll pretend I'm losing fat...

I'm thinking of writing to RW to find out more about running when you are fasting. Lets see...

Would it help if you started running later on at night (in order to stay in shape and maintain muscle mass during Ramadan) instead? Or does it not work that way?
