Document Summary
Had been training for 4 years- her best time was 10 minutes slower than the requirement- needs more training. She did 4 marathons (each 42 km) Rest days to rebuild the body fuel reserves for energy. 6 am morning run along the beach. Nothing to eat since last night 8 pm. She has about 3mm atp in muscle cells. But her exercises are quickly using up this energy source- atp hydroylysis needed for energy. Creatine phosphate (25mm) in muscles now used to sustain atp levels at 3mm. This is performed by creating kinase (ck)- acts as a phosphate transfer group. Recall this could be done only if the phosphate transfer group (pcr) has a greater negative number for g than gamma phosphate of atp. Soon-yi needs more energy for her activity- so fuels must be broken down to sustain atp levels.
