My theory (and this would be very hard to prove since I somehow think you don't run 100 miles often?) is that your body is reacting to this stress by dumping glucose from the liver (flight or fight response).

Hmmmm...Then again, I'd have to think that after X miles, your liver should have dumped all its reserves...But it could be a rise induced by hormones, but again, you need a glucose reserve somewhere, right?

Great. Now I'm going to be thinking about this...
