Carb Loading

Carb loading is a popular strategy among athletes to maximize their energy stores before a big event. Whether you're a runner, cyclist, or endurance athlete, carb loading can help you perform at your best... but only if you do it RIGHT and apply it to the appropriate type of event 🙈 Unforunately, most athletes don't actually know what carb loading REALLY is, nor how to do it properly...

When done correctly, carb-loading, or carbo-loading, can be beneficial for an athlete’s performance on race day. Carb-loading is simply a nutritional strategy to increase the glycogen stored in your body above its normal amount. Leading to: Increased Energy & Improved Endurance Performance. During Ironman training I worked closely with a dietitian to create a plan that works for MY body/food preferences. I will begin carb-loading ~3 days before the Chicago Marathon!

Carb Loading tips for your Marathon / Half Marathon #carbloading #marathon #running #runningtips #foryou #marathontraining

I used to think carbohydrate loading was simply eating a large pasta dinner the night before your race. While this can be helpful, a true carb load means increasing your carbs for more than just one meal. Eating 8 grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight, for 3 days, can help you fully stock your glycogen stores. Why carb load? Carbs are the quickest source of energy for your muscles. They are fast burning (compared to fat which is slow burning). When you carb load, you’re stocking your glycogen (carb) stores in your liver and muscles. This energy is readily available to use on race day. When fully stocked, your body can store up to 90 to 120 minutes worth of glycogen. If you want to avoid ‘hitting the wall’ in your marathon, this is only half the equation. You also need to make sure you’re taking in enough carbs during the race. Want to avoid “hitting the wall” in your next half or full marathon? ➡️ Comment “RACE DAY” below and I’ll send you details about the upcoming masterclass to help you feel energized on race day. #carbloading #marathontraining #chicagomarathontraining #londonmarathontraining #tcmarathontraining #berlinmarathon #nycmarathon #marathonrunner
