To me, this whole exercise while fasting idea seems pretty "out there".

But I'm willing to be convinced, what does the science say?

A quick search found this review article, Exercise Training and Fasting: Current Insights.

The final sentence of the abstract:

Our review of the literature suggests that there is little evidence to support the notion of endurance training and fasting-mediated increases in fat oxidation, and we recommend that endurance athletes should avoid high intensity training while fasting.
