The Great Metabolic Race Metabolism comprises of a vital set of biochemical reactions that all living organisms require to sustain life. For a marathon runner‚ their physiological response to strenuous exercise depletes both their fats and carbohydrate storage in order to supply energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy form that the human body uses for biological processes such as movement and synthesis of biomacromolecules. In regards to running a marathon‚ the athlete
